Zhu M, Tang Y. Response of sediment microbial communities to the flow effect of the triangular artificial reef: A simulation-based experimental study. MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 198:106546.

Abstract
Artificial reefs (ARs), as an important tool for habitat restoration, play significant impacts on benthic microbial ecosystems. This study utilized 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) flow simulation to investigate the effects of flow field distribution around ARs on microbial community structure. The results revealed distinct regional distribution patterns of microbial communities affected by different hydrodynamic conditions. Flow velocity and flow regime of water in sediment-water interface shaped the microbial community structure. The diversity and richness in R-HF were significantly decreased compared to other five regions (p < 0.05). At the phyla and OUT levels, most abundant taxa (1>%) showed an enrichment trend in R-HB. However, more than half of differentially abundant taxa were enriched in R-HB, which was significantly correlated with organic matter (OM). Bugbase phenotypic predictions indicated a low abundance of the anaerobic phenotype in R-HF and a high abundance of the biofilm-forming phenotype in R-HB.

Abstract
Ozone-biologically activated carbon (BAC) filtration is an advanced treatment process that can be applied to remove recalcitrant organic micro-pollutants in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). In this study, we continuously monitored a new and an old BAC filter in a DWTP for 1 year to compare their water purification performance and microbial community evolution. The results revealed that, compared with the new filter, the use of the old BAC filter facilitated a slightly lower rate of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal. In the case of the new BAC filter, we recorded general increases in the biomass and microbial diversity of the biofilm with a prolongation of operating time, with the biomass stabilizing after 7 months. For both new and old BAC filters, Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria were the dominant bacterial phyla. At the genus level, the microbial community gradually shifted over the course of operation from a predominance of Herminiimonas and Hydrogenophaga to one predominated by Bradyrhizbium, Bryobacter, Hyphomicrobium, and Pedomicrobium, with Bradyrhizobium being established as the most abundant genus in the old BAC filter. Regarding spatial distribution, we detected reductions in the biomass and number of operational taxonomic units with increasing biofilm depth, whereas there was a corresponding increase in microbial diversity. However, compared with the effects of time, the influence of depth on the composition of the biofilm microbial community was considerably smaller. Furthermore, co-occurrence network analysis revealed that the microbial community network of the new filter after 11 months of operation was the most tightly connected, although its modular coefficient was the lowest of those assessed. We speculate that the positive and negative interactions within the network may be attributable to symbiotic or competitive relationships among species. Moreover, there may have been a significant negative interaction between SWB02 and Acidovorax, plausibly associated with a competition for substrates.

Abstract
Artificial reefs (ARs) have been globally deployed to enhance and restore coastal resource and ecosystems. Microorganisms play an essential role in marine ecosystems, while the knowledge regarding the impact of ARs on microecology is still limited, particularly data concerning the response of benthic microbial community to AR habitats. In this study, the seasonal dynamics of benthic microbial community in AR and adjacent non-artificial reef (NAR) areas surrounding Xiaoshi Island were investigated with high-throughput sequencing technology. The results revealed that the diversity and structure of microbial community between AR and NAR both displayed pronounced seasonal dynamics. There was a greater influence of season factors on microbial communities than that of habitat type. The microbial communities in AR and NAR habitats were characterized by a limited number of abundant taxa (ranging from 5 to 12 ASVs) with high relative abundance (8.35-25.53%) and numerous rare taxa (from 5994 to 12412 ASVs) with low relative abundance (11.91%-24.91%). Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota and Desulfobacterota were the common predominant phyla, with the relative abundances ranging from 50.94% to 76.76%. A total of 52 biomarkers were discovered, with 15, 4, 6, and 27 biomarkers identified in spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively. Co-occurrence network analysis indicated that AR displayed a more complex interaction pattern and higher susceptibility to external disturbances. Furthermore, the neutral model and βNTI analyses revealed that the assembly of microbial communities in both AR and NAR is significantly influenced by stochastic processes. This study could provide valuable insights into the impact of ARs construction on the benthic ecosystems and would greatly facilitate the development and implementation of the future AR projects.

Abstract
The quantity and quality of DNA isolated from environmental samples are crucial for getting robust high-throughput sequencing data commonly used for microbial community analysis. The differences in the nature and physicochemical properties of environmental samples impact DNA yields, and therefore, an optimisation of the protocols is always recommended. For instance, samples collected from corroded areas contain high concentrations of metals, salts, and hydrocarbons that can interfere with several steps of the DNA extraction protocols, thereby reducing yield and quality. In this study, we compared the efficiency of commercially available DNA extraction kits and laboratory-adopted methods for microbial community analysis of iron incrustations and oilfield-produced water samples. Modifications to the kits manufacturers' protocols were included to maximise the yield and quality. For iron incrustations, the modified protocol for FastDNA Spin Kit for Soil yielded higher DNA and resulted in higher diversity, including the recovery of low-abundant and rare taxa in the samples, compared to DNeasy PowerSoil Pro Kit. The DNA extracted with modified phenol-chloroform methods yielded higher DNA but failed to pass quality control PCR for 16S sequencing with and without purification. The protocols mentioned here can be used to maximise DNA recovery from iron incrustations and oilfield-produced water samples.

Dynamic Changes in the Microbial Composition and Spoilage Characteristics of Refrigerated Large Yellow Croaker ( Larimichthys crocea) during Storage. Foods 2023; 12:3994. [PMID: 37959111 PMCID: PMC10649330 DOI: 10.3390/foods12213994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The quality changes, dynamic changes in microbial composition, and diversity changes in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) during 4 °C refrigeration were studied using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing technology, and the total viable count (TVC), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were determined. The results revealed a consistent increase in TVC, TVB-N, and TBARS levels over time. On the 9th day, TVC reached 7.43 lg/(CFU/g), while on the 15th day, TVB-N exceeded the upper limit for acceptable quality, reaching 42.56 mg/100 g. Based on the 16S rDNA sequencing results, we categorized the storage period into three phases: early storage (0th and 3rd days), middle storage (6th day), and late storage (9th, 12th, and 15th days). As the storage time increased, both the species richness and diversity exhibited a declining trend. The dominant genus identified among the spoilage bacteria in refrigerated large yellow croaker was Pseudomonas, accounting for a high relative abundance of 82.33%. A comparison was carried out of the spoilage-causing ability of three strains of Pseudomonas screened and isolated from the fish at the end of storage, and they were ranked as follows, from strongest to weakest: P. fluorescen, P. lundensis, and P. psychrophila. This study will provide a theoretical basis for extending the shelf life of large yellow croaker.
