Chironomus riparius Larval Gut Bacteriobiota and Its Potential in Microplastic Degradation
Microb Ecol. 2023 Feb 18. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02199-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChironomus riparius are sediment-dwelling invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems and are used as indicators of environmental pollution. Their habitat is threatened by high levels of contaminants such as microplastics and organic matter. A promising strategy for the eco-friendly degradation of pollutants is the use of bacteria and their enzymatic activity. The aim of this study was to characterize for the first time bacteriobiota associated with the gut of C. riparius larvae from nature and laboratory samples, to compare it with sedimen...

Two Complete Genomes of Male-Killing Wolbachia Infecting Ostrinia Moth Species Illuminate Their Evolutionary Dynamics and Association with Hosts
Microb Ecol. 2023 Feb 22. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02198-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWolbachia is an extremely widespread intracellular symbiont which causes reproductive manipulation on various arthropod hosts. Male progenies are killed in Wolbachia-infected lineages of the Japanese Ostrinia moth population. While the mechanism of male killing and the evolutionary interaction between host and symbiont are significant concerns for this system, the absence of Wolbachia genomic information has limited approaches to these issues. We determined the complete genome sequences of wFur and wSca, the male-killing Wolbachia of O...

Host Species and Environment Shape the Gut Microbiota of Cohabiting Marine Bivalves
Microb Ecol. 2023 Feb 22. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02192-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are commercially important marine bivalves that frequently coexist and have overlapping feeding ecologies. Like other invertebrates, their gut microbiota is thought to play an important role in supporting their health and nutrition. Yet, little is known regarding the role of the host and environment in driving these communities. Here, bacterial assemblages were surveyed from seawater and gut aspirates of farmed C. gigas and co-occurring wild M. ga...

Moss and Liverwort Covers Structure Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities Differently in the Icelandic Highlands
Microb Ecol. 2023 Feb 18. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02194-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCryptogamic covers extend over vast polar tundra regions and their main components, e.g., bryophytes and lichens, are frequently the first visible colonizers of deglaciated areas. To understand their role in polar soil development, we analyzed how cryptogamic covers dominated by different bryophyte lineages (mosses and liverworts) influence the diversity and composition of edaphic bacterial and fungal communities as well as the abiotic attributes of underlying soils in the southern part of the Highlands of Iceland. For comparison, the ...

Disentangling the Ecological Processes and Driving Forces Shaping the Seasonal Pattern of Halobacteriovorax Communities in a Subtropical Estuary
Microb Ecol. 2023 Feb 17. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02195-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHalobacteriovorax are predatory bacteria that have a significant ecological role in marine environments. However, understanding of dynamics of populations, driving forces, and community composition of Halobacteriovorax groups in natural marine environments is still limited. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing to study the underlying mechanisms governing the diversity and assembly of the Halobacteriovorax community at spatiotemporal scales in a subtropical estuary. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 10 of 15 known Halobacteriovorax ...

Epilithic Bacterial Assemblages on Subtidal Rocky Reefs: Variation Among Alternative Habitats at Ambient and Enhanced Nutrient Levels
Microb Ecol. 2023 Feb 15. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02174-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTemperate rocky reefs often support mosaics of alternative habitats such as macroalgal forests, algal turfs and sea urchin barrens. Although the composition of epilithic microbial biofilms (EMBs) is recognized as a major determinant of macroalgal recruitment, their role in regulating the stability of alternative habitats on temperate rocky reefs remains unexplored. On shallow rocky reefs of the Island of Capraia (NW Mediterranean), we compared EMB structure among canopy stands formed by the fucoid Ericaria brachycarpa, algal turfs, and...
