The sediment samples were collected from plots treated with different amounts of an N fertilizer(urea supplied at 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 g/kg(nitrogen content in dry sediment)), and with different forms of N fertilizers(urea,(NH4) 2 SO 4, and NH_4NO_3, each supplied at 0.2 g/kg). The fertilizers were applied 1–4 times during the plant-growing season in May, July, August and September of 2013. Untreated plots were included as a control. As revealed in denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of the 16 S r RNA gene, the β-AOB community responded to both the amount and form of N. Real-time quantitative PCR indicated that both abundance and potential nitrification rate of β-AOB increased after N addition, regardless of concentration and form(except NH_4NO_3). These results provide evidence that short-term N application influences the sediment β-AOB community, β-AOB abundance and potential nitrification rate in a saltmarsh ecosystem.展开更多
为了解翅碱蓬植被对盐沼沉积物微生物的影响,于2013年7月、8月、9月和11月对双台河口裸滩和翅碱蓬植被沉积物(10—15 cm)微生物生物量碳(MBC)、微生物生物量氮(MBN)、16S rRNA基因丰度、潜在硝化速率、β-氨氧化细菌(β-AOB)丰度及群落...为了解翅碱蓬植被对盐沼沉积物微生物的影响,于2013年7月、8月、9月和11月对双台河口裸滩和翅碱蓬植被沉积物(10—15 cm)微生物生物量碳(MBC)、微生物生物量氮(MBN)、16S rRNA基因丰度、潜在硝化速率、β-氨氧化细菌(β-AOB)丰度及群落进行了调查。结果表明,不同采样日期裸滩沉积物MBC、翅碱蓬沉积物β-AOB amo A丰度和两种生境潜在硝化速率没有显著差异;而翅碱蓬沉积物MBC、裸滩沉积物β-AOB amo A丰度、两种生境MBN和16S rRNA基因丰度呈现时间波动。当所有采样日期的数据结合分析时,翅碱蓬植被显著影响沉积物MBC、MBN、细菌16S rRNA基因丰度、潜在硝化速率和β-AOB amo A丰度。从裸滩和翅碱蓬沉积物获得的β-AOB序列属于Nitrosospira和Nitrosomonas,翅碱蓬植被对β-AOB群落结构和多样性均有一定的影响。研究结果有助于了解翅碱蓬湿地中微生物的作用,为盐沼生境的生态修复技术提供参考。展开更多

Sediment samples were collected from eight stations in June before the formation of hypoxia zone in 2006. The abundance of βAOB ranged from 1.87× 10^5 to 3.53×10^5 cells/g of sediment. βAOB abundance did not present a negative correlation with salinity, whereas salinity was implicated as the primary factor affecting nitrification rates. The DGGE profiles of PCR-amplified amoA gene fragments revealed that the βAOB community structure of sample S2 separated from other samples at the level of 40% similarity. The variations in composition ofβAOB were significantly correlated with the salinity, temperature, absorption ability of sediments and TOC. The statistical analysis indicates that theβAOB abundance was a main factor to influence nitrification rates with an influence ratio of 87.7% at the level of 40% biodiversity similarity. Considering the good correlation between βAOB abundance and nitrification estimates, the abundance and diversity of βAOB community could be expected as an indirect index of nitrification activity at the study sea area in summer.展开更多
