🌵 BMKGENE's Contribution to Microbial Ecology Research in Extreme Environments 🧬 📚 We are excited to share insights from a recent study published in Microorganisms MDPI, illuminating the intricate microbial communities thriving within the Great Gobi Strictly Protected Area (Link: https://lnkd.in/deye_TaZ). 🌡️ This study characterized the bacterial community composition of soil from four oases by extracting total DNA and sequencing it using the Illumina NovaSeq platform. Additionally, the authors evaluated the soil's chemical and physical properties and their impact on shaping microbial communities. Despite similar extreme climate conditions, the oases exhibited significant variability in physiochemical parameters and bacterial composition. 🌱 Furthermore, the core functional microbiome consisted of aerobic chemoheterotrophy and chemoheterotrophy, primarily contributed by abundant bacteria such as Actinobacteriota, Pseudomonadota, and Firmicutes. This suggests metabolic flexibility crucial for desert life sustainability. BMKGENE's 16S amplicon sequencing and analysis services played a pivotal role in uncovering these insights.

💡 60’ webinar n°3 « When algae meet bacteria: coexistence, growth and applications »: registrations are open! Between mutualism and parasitism, the coexistence of algae and bacteria within the phycosphere has developed throughout the stages of evolution 🦠, influencing each other's physiological and metabolic processes synergistically in various ecological contexts. In marine ecosystems particularly, both organisms coexist in intricate relationship. ➡️ This interdependency highlights the crucial role of co-cultures in sustaining marine productivity. Moreover, bacteria contribute to algal health, thus enhancing their resilience against environmental fluctuations. Understanding these co-culture dynamics is pivotal in marine ecology, as they shape the productivity and stability of marine ecosystems 🌊. ➡️ The phycosphere can influence algae growth, nutrient cycling, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. In addition to enhancing algae culture growth rate, algal productivity, and reducing dependence on supplied nutrients, several emerging applications are considered using algae-bacteria interactions. 👉 Learn more about algae-bacteria co-culture and discover the related applications in our third 60’ webinar ! 🗓 When?

Metabarcoding and morphological analysis of diets of mesopelagic fishes in the NW Atlantic Slope Water - Frontiers in Marine Science: DNA metabarcoding and morphological taxonomic (microscopic) analysis of the gut contents was used to examine diet diversity of seven species of fishes collected from mesopelagic depths (200-1000 m) in the NW Atlantic Ocean Slope Water during Summer 2018 and 2019. Metabarcoding used two gene regions: V9 hypervariable region of nuclear 18S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI). V9 sequences were classified into 14 invertebrate prey groups, excluding fish due to predator swamping. Ecological network analysis was used to evaluate relative strengths of predator-prey linkages. Multivariate statistical analysis revealed consistently distinct diets of four fish species in 2018 and/or 2019: Argyropelecus aculeatus, Chauliodus sloani, Hygophum hygomii, and Sigmops elongatus. Three other species analyzed (Malacosteus niger, Nemichthys scolopaceus, and Scopelogadus beanii) showed more variability between sampling years. COI sequences were classified into eight invertebrate prey groups, within which prey species were detected and identified. Considering all predator species together, a total of 77 prey species were detected with a minimum of 1,000 COI sequences, including 22 copepods, 18 euphausiids, and 7 amphipods. Morphological prey counts were classified into seven taxonomic groups, including a gelatinous group comprised of soft-bodied organisms. The ocean twilight zone or is home to exceptional diversity and biomass of marine fish, which are key players in deep sea food webs. This study used integrative morphological-molecular analysis to provide new insights into trophic relationships and sources of productivity for mesopelagic fishes, including identification of key prey species, recognition of the importance of gelatinous prey, and characterization of differences in diet among fish predators in the NW Atlantic Slope Water.

Microbial ecology explores the diversity, distribution, and abundance of microorganisms, their abiotic and biotic interactions, and the effect that they have on ecosystems. Microorganisms exist as single cells or as clusters of cells and in a number of cases form intimate symbiotic associations with complex multicellular life-forms. Microbial cells typically, though not always, have an independent existence and range in size from the submicron up to the millimeter scale. Viruses which are noncellular range from the submicron to the micron scale.
