    Notes: Marine sponges frequently contain a complex mixture of bacteria, fungi, unicellular algae and cyanobacteria. Epifluorescent microscopy showed that Mycale (Carmia) hentscheli contained coccoid cyanobacteria. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified, fragments cloned and analysed using amplified rRNA gene restriction analysis. The nearly complete 16S rRNA gene of distinct clones was sequenced and aligned using ARB. The phylogenetic analysis indicated the presence of four closely related clones which have a high (8%) sequence divergence from known cyanobacteria, Cyanobacterium stanieri being the closest, followed by Prochloron sp. and Synechocystis sp. All belong to the order Chroococcales. The lack of non-molecular evidence prevents us from proposing a new genus.

    Characterisation of bacterial communities associated with toxic and non-toxic dinoflagellates: Alexandrium spp. and Scrippsiella trochoidea (2001)

    Notes: Several dinoflagellate species have been shown to produce potent neurotoxins known as paralytic shellfish toxins. Evidence is also accumulating that marine bacteria associated with dinoflagellates play a role in the accumulation of paralytic shellfish toxins. In this study, the diversity of bacteria in cultures of both toxic and non-toxic dinoflagellates, Alexandrium spp. and Scrippsiella trochoidea, were compared using colony morphology, restriction fragment length polymorphisms, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes and, ultimately, sequence determination of the 16S rRNA genes. The results suggest that a number of different bacterial species are associated with dinoflagellates, some of which are common to each of the dinoflagellate cultures examined, whereas others appear to be unique to a particular dinoflagellate. The phylogenetic diversity of the bacteria observed was limited to two bacterial phyla, the Proteobacteria and the Cytophaga-Flavobacter-Bacteroides (CFB). Although phylum level diversity was limited, many distinct phylogenetic clades were recovered, including members of both the α- and γ-subclasses of the Proteobacteria. Additionally, several of the bacterial phylotypes isolated were not closely related to any published bacterial species but, rather, were identical to isolates characterised from Alexandrium cultures 4 years earlier. Finally, many of the bacteria isolated from the dinoflagellate cultures were related to microorganisms with known surface-associated life histories (e.g. the CFB phylum, Hyphomonas, Caulobacter and some members of the Roseobacter clade including Ruegeria algicola).

    Modification of an algal culture medium for sustained growth of a saxitoxin-producing isolate of Alexandrium minutum (2000)

    Notes: Abstract In order to study saxitoxin (STX) production bymicro-algae in the laboratory, a defined algal culture medium which supports optimum growth over a longtime-period is a requirement. In the development of such a medium, a number of modifications were made to a standard algal culture medium (GP) and growth of a STX-producing isolate of Alexandrium minutum in the different formulations was assessed by measuring maximum cell densities and mean generation times (MGT). All experiments were carried out under controlled conditions in an aerobic atmosphere with increased CO2. Whilst maximum cell densities in the different modifications were similar, the MGT was significantly shortened by the addition of Tris buffer and the trace metals strontium, selenium and molybdenum. Replacement of natural with artificial seawater and removal of soil extract did not adversely affect algal growth. Five of the six media formulations supported the growth of A. minutumover a 9-month period.

    Single cell genomes of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and sympatric microbes from diverse marine environments (2018)

    Description: Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the dominant primary producers in marine ecosystems and perform a significant fraction of ocean carbon fixation. These cyanobacteria interact with a diverse microbial community that coexists with them. Comparative genomics of cultivated isolates has helped address questions regarding patterns of evolution and diversity among microbes, but the fraction that can be cultivated is miniscule compared to the diversity in the wild. To further probe the diversity of these groups and extend the utility of reference sequence databases, we report a data set of single cell genomes for 489 Prochlorococcus, 50 Synechococcus, 9 extracellular virus particles, and 190 additional microorganisms from a diverse range of bacterial, archaeal, and viral groups. Many of these uncultivated single cell genomes are derived from samples obtained on GEOTRACES cruises and at well-studied oceanographic stations, each with extensive suites of physical, chemical, and biological measurements. The genomic data reported here greatly increases the number of available Prochlorococcus genomes and will facilitate studies on evolutionary biology, microbial ecology, and biological oceanography.

    Marine microbial metagenomes sampled across space and time (2018)
    Nature Research
    In:  Scientific Data, 5 . p. 180176.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-04-23
    Description: Recent advances in understanding the ecology of marine systems have been greatly facilitated by the growing availability of metagenomic data, which provide information on the identity, diversity and functional potential of the microbial community in a particular place and time. Here we present a dataset comprising over 5 terabases of metagenomic data from 610 samples spanning diverse regions of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. One set of metagenomes, collected on GEOTRACES cruises, captures large geographic transects at multiple depths per station. The second set represents two years of time-series data, collected at roughly monthly intervals from 3 depths at two long-term ocean sampling sites, Station ALOHA and BATS. These metagenomes contain genomic information from a diverse range of bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes and viruses. The data's utility is strengthened by the availability of extensive physical, chemical, and biological measurements associated with each sample. We expect that these metagenomes will facilitate a wide range of comparative studies that seek to illuminate new aspects of marine microbial ecosystems.

    Patterns of deep-sea genetic connectivity in the New Zealand region : implications for management of benthic ecosystems (2013)

    Description: Patterns of genetic connectivity are increasingly considered in the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) in both shallow and deep water. In the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), deep-sea communities at upper bathyal depths (〈2000 m) are vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbance from fishing and potential mining operations. Currently, patterns of genetic connectivity among deep-sea populations throughout New Zealand’s EEZ are not well understood. Using the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I and 16S rRNA genes as genetic markers, this study aimed to elucidate patterns of genetic connectivity among populations of two common benthic invertebrates with contrasting life history strategies. Populations of the squat lobster Munida gracilis and the polychaete Hyalinoecia longibranchiata were sampled from continental slope, seamount, and offshore rise habitats on the Chatham Rise, Hikurangi Margin, and Challenger Plateau. For the polychaete, significant population structure was detected among distinct populations on the Chatham Rise, the Hikurangi Margin, and the Challenger Plateau. Significant genetic differences existed between slope and seamount populations on the Hikurangi Margin, as did evidence of population differentiation between the northeast and southwest parts of the Chatham Rise. In contrast, no significant population structure was detected across the study area for the squat lobster. Patterns of genetic connectivity in Hyalinoecia longibranchiata are likely influenced by a number of factors including current regimes that operate on varying spatial and temporal scales to produce potential barriers to dispersal. The striking difference in population structure between species can be attributed to differences in life history strategies. The results of this study are discussed in the context of existing conservation areas that are intended to manage anthropogenic threats to deep-sea benthic communities in the New Zealand region.
