Abstract

Sponge-associated microorganisms are key influencers of nutrient biogeochemistry and important sources of bioactive natural products. This study provides the first insights into the taxonomic diversity of the microbial community associated with the sponge Xestospongia sp. from an anchialine cave in the coastal area of the underground river of the Yucatán Peninsula in Xcalak, Quintana Roo, Mexico, and the potential antimicrobial activity of its cultivable bacteria. High abundances of Sulfurospirillum and Desulfovibrio were detected with 16S rRNA amplicons, suggesting that the microbial community of Xestospongia sp. plays an important role in the geochemical sulfur cycle. Analysis with crude extracts of Nocardiopsis dasonvillei NCA-454 revealed antimicrobial activity against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25913 (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus ATCC 43300 (MRSA). Studies of the microbiomes of sponges from the anchialine cave system in the Yucatán Peninsula can help elucidate the biogeochemical cycles of these poorly studied environments. Moreover, the microorganisms of these microbial communities represent an untapped source of secondary metabolites with biotechnological potential.

探索尤卡坦半岛鳀鱼洞穴海绵 Xestospongia sp.的微生物群落和生物技术潜力

与海绵相关的微生物是营养物质生物地球化学的关键影响因素，也是生物活性天然产物的重要来源。本研究首次揭示了墨西哥金塔纳罗奥州 Xcalak 尤卡坦半岛地下河沿岸地区一个锚链洞穴中与海绵 Xestospongia sp.相关的微生物群落的分类多样性，以及其可培养细菌的潜在抗菌活性。通过 16S rRNA 扩增子检测到了高丰度的 Sulfurospirillum 和 Desulfovibrio，这表明 Xestospongia sp.的微生物群落在地球化学硫循环中发挥着重要作用。通过对 Nocardiopsis dasonvillei NCA-454 的粗提取物进行分析，发现其对甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌 ATCC 25913（MSSA）和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌 ATCC 43300（MRSA）具有抗菌活性。对尤卡坦半岛鳀鱼洞穴系统海绵微生物组的研究有助于阐明这些研究较少的环境的生物地球化学循环。此外，这些微生物群落中的微生物是具有生物技术潜力的次生代谢物的一个尚未开发的来源。

期刊介绍： A bilingual open-access publication, Ciencias Marinas (CM) is an international peer-reviewed journal that contains original research findings in all areas of marine science. It is published quarterly by the Autonomous University of Baja California, Mexico, and all its contents are publicly available on our journal website. Though a limited number of copies are still printed, the journal is mainly distributed in its electronic format. CM was conceived in 1973 as part of an academic project aimed to entice local researchers to publicly disclose their findings by adopting the culture of peer-review publishing. This academic project evolved into an international journal after accepting papers from researchers in the United States and, eventually, other parts of the world. Because of the diversity in authorship, CM issues were initially published in either Spanish or English, and occasionally in both languages. It was not until 1984 when CM included both language versions of all its contents, and it then became the fully bilingual journal it still is today. At CM we believe our inclusive format allows us not only to address a wider range of submissions from international authors but also to make published findings available to a wider international audience. So whether you are looking for information on the redfish in Icelandic waters or the physical and biological properties of the Gulf of California, feel free to peruse CM contents. You may find them to provide source material for your research.
