Abstract
-
Deep sea ferromanganese (FeMn) nodules contain metallic
mineral resources and have great economic potential. In this
study, a combination of culture-dependent and culture-independent
(16S rRNA genes clone library and pyrosequencing)
methods
was used to investigate the bacterial diversity
in FeMn nodules from Jiaolong Seamount, the South China
Sea. Eleven bacterial strains including some moderate thermophiles
were isolated. The majority of strains belonged to
the phylum Proteobacteria; one isolate belonged to the phylum
Firmicutes. A total of 259 near full-length bacterial 16S
rRNA gene sequences in a clone library and 67,079 valid reads
obtained using pyrosequencing indicated that members of
the Gammaproteobacteria dominated, with the most abundant
bacterial genera being Pseudomonas and Alteromonas.
Sequence analysis indicated the presence of many organisms
whose closest relatives are known manganese oxidizers, iron
reducers, hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria and methylotrophs.
This is the first reported investigation of bacterial diversity
associated with deep sea FeMn nodules from the South China
Sea.

Abstract
-
White semi-consolidated carbonate sediments attached to black ferromanganese oxide films were collected approximately 50 km west of a newly discovered hydrothermal field near the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR). The biodiversity of the prokaryotic communities within the field was examined using clone library-based culture-independent analysis of the exterior black oxides and the interior white carbonates. Subsequent 16S rRNA gene analysis suggested that Gammaproteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Thaumarchaeota members dominated the bacterial and archaeal clone libraries. To further characterize the metabolic processes within the microbial community, analyses of the amoA (coding the alpha subunit of the ammonia monooxygenase for Archaea) and aprA (coding the alpha subunit of the dissimilatory adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate reductase for the sulfate-reducing and sulfur-oxidizing prokaryotes) functional genes were conducted. The functional gene analysis results suggested that Thaumarchaeota and Alphaproteobacteria members were the potential players that participated in N and S cycles in this marine carbonate sedimentary environment. This paper is the first to describe the microbial communities and their potential metabolic pathways within the semi-consolidated carbonate sediments of the SWIR.
