However, the role of the microbiome in holobiont function and health remains poorly understood for most seagrass species and environmental pressures, and there is, therefore, a need to better understand the drivers behind the formation of and external influences on the seagrass microbiome. Using a core microbiome framework, we characterised the leaf microbiomes of 6 estuarine seagrass populations after a precipitation event to explore how the microbiomes vary across different sites and salinities over a regional spatial scale. We found that each estuary had distinct core bacterial community structures (beta-diversity), but shared a more similar fungal core community structure. We hypothesise that the differences in the bacterial members of the microbiomes among estuaries are generally the result of each estuary being influenced by unique watersheds and sources of prokaryotes. In contrast, the similarity in the core fungal communities suggests that the eukaryotic components of the microbiomes are likely under selection or result from similar colonisation pathway(s). We also found that the bacterial taxa driving the differences among estuaries were linked to the salinity of the estuary, likely due to (1) the general epibiotic nature of colonisation (i.e. watershed source and exposure) and (2) members or functional groups within the leaf microbiome assisting seagrasses in coping with the extreme salinities. These results are valuable for linking microbiomes to the resilience of seagrasses living within dynamic estuaries experiencing a range of physicochemical pressures.","PeriodicalId":8112,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Microbial Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":"59-74"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91013720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the prevalence of ciliate infestation on copepods in the Klang Strait, Straits of Malacca. We hypothesized that anthropogenic impacts in the strait have increased ciliate epibiont infestation. Zooplankton samples were collected in 2013−2014 and compared to samples collected from the same 5 stations in 1985−1986, prior to the establishment of the Kapar Power Station (KPS). The 5 sampling sites, including 1 impact (I) and 4 control (C1−C4) stations, were located along an 18 km transect ranging from near the KPS (I) to progressively further offshore (C4). Ciliate epibionts on the copepods belonged to an unidentified Zoothamnium species; 14 copepod species were infested by this ciliate. The highest infestation prevalence occurred in 5 key calanoid species: Paracalanus aculeatus, Acrocalanus gibber, Labidocera euchaeta, Parvocalanus crassirostris and Subeucalanus subcrassus. Before-after-control-impact-pairs (BACI) analysis showed that infestations were more prevalent at all stations in 2013−2014 compared to 1985−1986 and were lowest at or nearest the impact site. The prosome of the copepod was the body part most susceptible to attachment by the ciliate. Generally, the density of infested copepods and their epibiont loads were positively correlated with copepod abundance. Only the density of infested A. gibber showed a significant positive relationship with water temperature, while in P. aculeatus the infested copepod density was significantly correlated with phytoplankton abundance after a lag of 2 mo. We suggest that sea warming and eutrophication in recent years have increased ciliate−copepod epibiosis in the Klang Strait.","PeriodicalId":8112,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Microbial Ecology","volume":"333 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75063648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used chemostats at a range of specific growth rates (μ, d−1; 0.1 to 1) with natural communities of prokaryotes and monospecific cultures of a B12 producer, Dinoroseobacter shibae. We measured the dissolved B12 concentration produced in the culture (B12-d), the B12 in the particulate fraction (B12-p), cell concentration, respiration rate, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (POC, PON), and the 16S amplicon composition. Total dissolved B12 concentrations (0.92 to 4.90 pmol l−1) were comparable to those found in the surface ocean. B12-p concentration was 6 to 35 times higher than B12-d. B12-d, B12-p, and community composition showed no relation to μ for either natural populations or D. shibae. The chemostats allowed calculation of the rates of production: B12-d (0.34 ± 0.28 pmol l−1 d−1) and B12-p (5.65 ± 2.34 pmol l−1 d−1), and the B12 cell quota (900 to 3300 molecules cell−1). In multispecies and D. shibae cultures, B12 production rates per cell in creased with respiration rates (volumetric or per cell), and with rates of cellular organic carbon and nitrogen production. Rates increased with μ, but not the concentrations of B12-d or of B12-p. To understand the physiological and ecological dynamics of B12, concentrations alone are insufficient since they do not provide rates, which are important in understanding the dynamics between producers and consumers.","PeriodicalId":8112,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Microbial Ecology","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74793999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trophic relationships have been neglected and grazing experiments give contradictory evidence when toxic taxa such as Microcystis are involved. Here two toxic Microcystis strains (containing microcystins), one non-toxic Microcystis strain and a non-toxic green alga, Chlorella vulgaris, were used to investigate predator-prey interactions with a phagotrophic ciliate, Blepharisma americanum. Flow cytometric analysis for microalgal measurements and a rapid UHPLC-MS/MS protocol to quantify microcystins showed non-toxic photosynthetic microbes were significantly grazed by B. americanum, which sustained ciliate populations. In contrast, despite constant ingestion of toxic Microcystis rapid egestion of cells occurred. The lack of digestion resulted in no significant control of toxic cyanobacteria densities, a complete reduction in ciliate numbers, and no observable encystment or cannibalistic behaviour (gigantism). Individual B. americanum morphological responses (biovolume and cell width) showed a significant decrease over time when sustained on non-toxic Microcystis compared 55 to grazed C. vulgaris populations, supporting previous studies that cyanobacteria may be a relatively poor source of nutrition. Results here provide an insight into the ecological interactions of ciliates and cyanobacteria, and for the first time B. americanum is shown to have the capacity to suppress potentially bloom-forming cyanobacteria. However, grazing can be significantly altered by the presence of microcystins, which could have an impact on bloom dynamics and overall community structure.","PeriodicalId":8112,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Microbial Ecology","volume":"107 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75676401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
