[PMID: 38641112 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
The comprehensive analysis of multiple biological communities is essential for assessing diversities within mangrove ecosystems, yet such studies are infrequent. Environmental DNA (eDNA) facilitates the simultaneous exploration of organisms across various levels within a single ecosystem. In this investigation, 16S rRNA, cytochrome C oxidase I (COI), and Mito-fish primers were employed to characterize the microbiome, eukaryotic plankton, and fish communities, along with their intricate interactions, across 24 samples from three Chinese mangrove reservoirs. The resulting dataset encompasses 3779 taxonomic groups (genus level), spanning from the microbiome to vertebrates. Diversity analysis unveiled a higher level of stability in the microbiome community compared to plankton, underscoring the superior site-specificity of plankton. The association analysis revealed that biodiversity was primarily affected by temperature, turbidity, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM). Notably, the physicochemical factors, turbidity, and fDOM had a more pronounced impact on the microbiome than on plankton, explaining their distinct sensitivities to site-specific conditions. Network analysis constructed 15 biological interaction subnetworks representing various community connections. The most connected genera in each subnetwork, highly responsive to different environmental factors, could serve as potential indicators of distinct ecosystem states. In summary, our findings represent the first comparison of the response sensitivities of different communities and the construction of their interaction networks in mangrove environments. These results contribute valuable insights into marine ecosystem dynamics and the role of environmental factors in shaping biodiversity.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:19764-19778.

Abstract
The changes of soil moisture, salinity, and nutrients by halophyte colonization in high-salinity environment profoundly affect the assembly and structure of microbial communities. However, salt marshes in arid region have received little attention. This study was conducted in Lianhuachi Lake, a typical inland salt marsh wetland in China, to determine the physicochemical characteristics of salt crusts in [Kalidium cuspidatum (Ung.-Sternb.) Grub.] colonization areas and bulk soil, respectively, and to analyze the microbial community structure of salt crusts by high-throughput sequencing. Kalidium cuspidatum colonization significantly decreased total salinity, soil water content, and water-soluble ions of salt crusts and increased total carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus content. At the same time, changes in physicochemical properties caused by Kalidium cuspidatum colonization affect the ecological processes of bacterial, fungal, and archaeal community assemblies in salt crusts. In addition, cross-kingdom network analysis showed that Kalidium cuspidatum colonization increased the complexity and stability of microbial networks in salt crust soils. Functional projections further showed that bacterial diversity had a potential driving effect on the nitrogen cycle function of salt crust. Our study further demonstrated the different ecological strategies of microorganisms for halophyte colonization in extreme environments and contributed to the understanding of restoration and management of salt marsh wetlands in arid region.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 913:169522.

Abstract
In this study, an organic wastewater treatment process based on aerobic composting technology was developed in order to explore the transition of wastewater treatment from pollutants removal to resource recovery. The novelty of the process focuses towards the microbial metabolic heat that is often ignored during the composting, and taking advantage of this heat for wastewater evaporation to achieve zero-discharge treatment. Meanwhile, this process can retain the wastewater's nutrients in the composting substrate to realize the recovery of resources. This study determined the optimum condition for the process (initial water content of 50 %, C/N ratio of 25:1, ventilation rate of 3 m3/h), and 69.9 % of the total heat generated by composting was used for wastewater treatment under the condition. The HA/FA ratio of composting substrate increased from 0.07 to 0.53 after wastewater treatment, and the retention ratio of TOC and TN was 52.3 % and 61.7 %, respectively, which proved the high recycling value of the composting products. Thermoduric and thermophilic bacteria accounted for 44.3 % of the community structure at the maturation stage, which played a pivotal role in both pollutant removal and resource recovery.

Abstract
Mangrove bacteria largely compose the microbial community of the coastal ecosystem and are directly associated with nutrient cycling. In the present study, 12 Gram-negative and motile strains were isolated from a mangrove wetland in Zhangzhou, China. Pairwise comparisons (based on 16S rRNA gene sequences) and phylogenetic analysis indicated that these 12 strains belong to the genus Shewanella. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities among the 12 Shewanella strains and their related type strains ranged from 98.8 to 99.8 %, but they still could not be considered as known species. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between the 12 strains and their related type strains were below the cut-off values (ANI 95-96% and dDDH 70 %) for prokaryotic species delineation. The DNA G+C contents of the present study strains ranged from 44.4 to 53.8 %. The predominant menaquinone present in all strains was MK-7. The present study strains (except FJAT-53532T) also contained ubiquinones (Q-8 and Q-7). The polar lipid phosphatidylglycerol and fatty acid iso-C15 : 0 was noticed in all strains. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic comparisons, we propose that these 12 strains represent 10 novel species within the genus Shewanella, with the names Shewanella psychrotolerans sp. nov. (FJAT-53749T=GDMCC 1.2398T=KCTC 82649T), Shewanella zhangzhouensis sp. nov. (FJAT-52072T=MCCC 1K05363T=KCTC 82447T), Shewanella rhizosphaerae sp. nov. (FJAT-53764T=GDMCC 1.2349T=KCTC 82648T), Shewanella mesophila sp. nov. (FJAT-53870T=GDMCC 1.2346T= KCTC 82640T), Shewanella halotolerans sp. nov. (FJAT-53555T=GDMCC 1.2344T=KCTC 82645T), Shewanella aegiceratis sp. nov. (FJAT-53532T=GDMCC 1.2343T=KCTC 82644T), Shewanella alkalitolerans sp. nov. (FJAT-54031T=GDMCC 1.2347T=KCTC 82642T), Shewanella spartinae sp. nov. (FJAT-53681T=GDMCC 1.2345T=KCTC 82641T), Shewanella acanthi sp. nov. (FJAT-51860T=GDMCC 1.2342T=KCTC 82650T) and Shewanella mangrovisoli sp. nov. (FJAT-51754T=GDMCC 1.2341T= KCTC 82647T).
