Abstract

Tarballs are formed from released or discharged crude oil containing sulfur compounds. A considerable amount and variety of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) were identified in tarballs collected from the intertidal and supratidal zones of Alabama's Gulf beaches. Amplicon sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene showed that SRB were more abundantly distributed in the core than on the surface of tarballs, while no significant differences were observed in the distribution of SOB. To our best knowledge, this is the first report on the spatial distribution of diverse SRB and SOB in tarballs.

从阿拉巴马州海湾沿岸收集的焦油球中参与硫循环的细菌。

沥青球是由释放或排放的含硫化合物原油形成的。从阿拉巴马州海湾海滩的潮间带和潮上带收集到的焦油球中发现了大量种类繁多的硫酸盐还原细菌（SRB）和硫氧化细菌（SOB）。细菌 16S rRNA 基因的扩增子测序结果表明，SRB 在柏油球核心部位的分布比在表面部位更丰富，而 SOB 的分布则无明显差异。据我们所知，这是首次报道焦油球中多种 SRB 和 SOB 的空间分布情况。

期刊介绍： FEMS Microbiology Letters gives priority to concise papers that merit rapid publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and contribution to new developments in microbiology. All aspects of microbiology, including virology, are covered. 2019 Impact Factor: 1.987, Journal Citation Reports (Source Clarivate, 2020) Ranking: 98/135 (Microbiology) The journal is divided into eight Sections: Physiology and Biochemistry (including genetics, molecular biology and ‘omic’ studies) Food Microbiology (from food production and biotechnology to spoilage and food borne pathogens) Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology Pathogens and Pathogenicity (including medical, veterinary, plant and insect pathogens – particularly those relating to food security – with the exception of viruses) Environmental Microbiology (including ecophysiology, ecogenomics and meta-omic studies) Virology (viruses infecting any organism, including Bacteria and Archaea) Taxonomy and Systematics (for publication of novel taxa, taxonomic reclassifications and reviews of a taxonomic nature) Professional Development (including education, training, CPD, research assessment frameworks, research and publication metrics, best-practice, careers and history of microbiology) If you are unsure which Section is most appropriate for your manuscript, for example in the case of transdisciplinary studies, we recommend that you contact the Editor-In-Chief by email prior to submission. Our scope includes any type of microorganism - all members of the Bacteria and the Archaea and microbial members of the Eukarya (yeasts, filamentous fungi, microbial algae, protozoa, oomycetes, myxomycetes, etc.) as well as all viruses.
