Methanogens are an important biogenic source of methane,
especially in estuarine waters across a river-to-sea gradient.
However, the diversity and trophic strategy of methanogens
in this gradient are not clear. In this study, the diversity and
trophic strategy of methanogens in sediments across the
Yellow River (YR) to the Bohai Sea (BS) gradient were investigated
by high-throughput sequencing based on the 16S
rRNA gene. The results showed that the diversity of methanogens
in sediments varied from multitrophic communities
in YR samples to specific methylotrophic communities in BS
samples. The methanogenic community in YR samples was
dominated by Methanosarcina, while that of BS samples was
dominated by methylotrophic Methanococcoides. The distinct
methanogens suggested that the methanogenic community
of BS sediments did not originate from YR sediment
input. High-throughput sequencing of the mcrA gene revealed
that active Methanococcoides dominated in the BS enrichment
cultures with trimethylamine as the substrate, and methylotrophic
Methanolobus dominated in the YR enrichment
cultures, as detected to a limited amount in in situ sediment
samples. Methanosarcina were also detected in this gradient
sample. Furthermore, the same species of Methanosarcina
mazei, which was widely distributed, was isolated from the
area across a river-to-sea gradient by the culture-dependent
method
. In summary, our results showed that a distribution
of diverse methanogens across a river-to-sea gradient may
shed light on adaption strategies and survival mechanisms
in methanogens.

Minerals that contain ferric iron, such as amorphous Fe(III)
oxides (A), can inhibit methanogenesis by competitively accepting
electrons. In contrast, ferric iron reduced products,
such as magnetite (M), can function as electrical conductors
to stimulate methanogenesis, however, the processes and effects
of magnetite production and transformation in the methanogenic
consortia are not yet known. Here we compare the
effects on methanogenesis of amorphous Fe (III) oxides (A)
and magnetite (M) with ethanol as the electron donor. RNAbased
terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism
with a clone library was used to analyse both bacterial and
archaeal communities. Iron (III)-reducing bacteria including
Geobacteraceae and methanogens such as Methanosarcina
were enriched in iron oxide-supplemented enrichment cultures
for two generations with ethanol as the electron donor.
The enrichment cultures with A and non-Fe (N) dominated
by the active bacteria belong to Veillonellaceae, and archaea
belong to Methanoregulaceae and Methanobacteriaceae, Methanosarcinaceae
(Methanosarcina mazei), respectively. While
the enrichment cultures with M, dominated by the archaea belong
to Methanosarcinaceae (Methanosarcina barkeri). The
results
also showed that methanogenesis was accelerated in
the transferred cultures with ethanol as the electron donor during
magnetite production from A reduction. Powder X-ray
diffraction analysis indicated that magnetite was generated
from microbial reduction of A and M was transformed into
siderite and vivianite with ethanol as the electron donor. Our
data showed the processes and effects of magnetite production
and transformation in the methanogenic consortia, suggesting
that significantly different effects of iron minerals on
microbial methanogenesis in the iron-rich coastal riverine
environment were present.
