Abstract
-
Mangrove sediment microorganisms play a vital role in the
energy transformation and element cycling in marine wetland
ecosystems. Using metagenomics analysis strategy, we
compared the taxonomic structure and gene profile of the
mangrove and non-mangrove sediment samples at the subtropical
estuary in Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. Proteobacteria,
Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes were the most abundant
bacterial phyla. Archaeal family Methanosarcinaceae
and bacterial genera Vibrio and Dehalococcoides were significantly
higher in the mangrove sediments than in the nonmangrove
sediments. Functional analysis showed that “Carbohydrate
metabolism” was the most abundant metabolic
category. The feature of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CZs)
was analyzed using the Carbohydrate-Active EnZymes Database.
The significant differences of CZs between mangrove
and non-mangrove sediments, were attributed to the amounts
of polyphenol oxidase (EC 1.10.3.-), hexosyltransferase (EC
2.4.1.-), and β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.52), which
were higher in the mangrove sediment samples. Principal
component analysis indicated that the microbial community
and gene profile between mangrove and non-mangrove sediments
were distinct. Redundancy analysis showed that total
organic carbon is a significant factor that affects the microbial
community and gene distribution. The results indicated
that the mangrove ecosystem with massive amounts of organic
carbon may promote the richness of carbohydrate metabolism
genes and enhance the degradation and utilization
of carbohydrates in the mangrove sediments.

Abstract
-
Most oil from oceanic spills converges on coastal ecosystems, such as mangrove forests, which are threatened with worldwide disappearance. Particular bacteria that inhabit the rhizosphere of local plant species can stimulate plant development through various mechanisms; it would be advantageous if these would also be capable of degrading oil. Such bacteria may be important in the preservation or recuperation of mangrove forests impacted by oil spills. This study aimed to compare the bacterial structure, isolate and evaluate bacteria able to degrade oil and stimulate plant growth, from the rhizospheres of three mangrove plant species. These features are particularly important taking into account recent policies for mangrove bioremediation, implying that oil degradation as well as plant maintenance and health are key targets. Fifty-seven morphotypes were isolated from the mangrove rhizospheres on Bushnell-Haas (BH) medium supplemented with oil as the sole carbon source and tested for plant growth promotion. Of this strains, 60% potentially fixed nitrogen, 16% showed antimicrobial activity, 84% produced siderophores, 51% had the capacity to solubilize phosphate, and 33% produced the indole acetic acid hormone. Using gas chromatography, we evaluated the oil-degrading potential of ten selected strains that had different morphologies and showed Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) features. The ten tested strains showed a promising degradation profile for at least one compound present in the oil. Among degrader strains, 46% had promising PGPR potential, having at least three of the above capacities. These strains might be used as a consortium, allowing the concomitant degradation of oil and stimulation of mangrove plant survival and maintenance.

Abstract
-
In this study, we examined the hypothesis that the microbial communities in mangrove sediments with different chemical and historical characteristics respond differently to the disturbance of a hydrocarbon spill. Two different mangrove sediments were sampled, one close to an oil refinery that had suffered a recent
oil spill and another that had not been in contact with oil. Based on the sampled sediment, two sets of mesocosms were built, and oil was added to one of them. They were subjected to mimicked mangrove conditions and monitored for 75 days. Archaeal and bacterial communities were evaluated through PCRDGGE. Both communities showed the emergence of small numbers of novel bands in response to oil pollution. 16S rRNA gene clone libraries were constructed from both mesocosms before the addition of oil and at day 75 after oil addition. LIBSHUFF analysis showed that both mangrove-based mesocosms contained similar communities at the start of the experiment and that they were different from the initial one, as well as from each other, after 75 days. These results hint at a role of environmental history that is not obvious from community diversity indicators, but is apparent from the response to the applied stress.

Abstract

An archaeal 16S rRNA gene library was constructed from mangrove soil. Phylogenetic analysis revealed archaea in mangrove soil including the Crenarchaeota (80.4%) and Euryarchaeota (19.6%) phyla. The archaeal community in mangrove soil appears to be a mixture of organisms found in a variety of environments with the majority being of marine origin.
