microbial community structure and diversity in long-term hydrocarbon and heavy metal contaminated soils
نویسندگان
چکیده
the influence of long-term mixed organic and inorganic contamination on soil microbial activity, community structure and genetic diversity was investigated in soil samples from a coke oven plant located in upper silesia, poland. the tested soils were heavily contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) and heavy metals. the microbial communities were characterized using the phospholipid fatty acid (plfa) and the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) methods. analysis of the plfa profiles showed that the biomass of gram-negative bacteria and fungi was affected by heavy metals but not by pahs. similar results were obtained for total microbial activity measured as the rate of fluorescein acetate hydrolysis. statistical analysis of the obtained results revealed that heavy metals rather than pahs were primarily responsible for the reduction in microbial activity and the differences in the microbial community structure as showed by plfa. the dgge analysis showed that the most contaminated soil had a very low biodiversity and richness but a very high evenness index. the correlation analysis revealed that the biodiversity and richness indices were negatively correlated with pahs but not with heavy metals. however, there was a positive relationship between the evenness index and tested metals as well as the pah content. the partial 16s rrna sequence analysis showed that some of the clones were closely related to the genera pseudomonas, sphingomonas and arthrobacter, which are well-known hydrocarbon degraders. obtained results indicated that a high level of contamination suppress the some bacterial community member giving finally a reduction in the genetic diversity.

Abundance and diversity of Archaea in heavy-metal-contaminated soils.
The impact of heavy-metal contamination on archaean communities was studied in soils amended with sewage sludge contaminated with heavy metals to varying extents. Fluorescent in situ hybridization showed a decrease in the percentage of Archaea from 1.3% +/- 0.3% of 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole-stained cells in untreated soil to below the detection limit in soils amended with heavy metals. A c...

In this study, we analysed the impact of heavy metals and plant rhizodeposition on the structure of indigenous microbial communities in rhizosphere and bulk soil that had been exposed to heavy metals for more than 150 years. Samples of the rhizosphere of Silene vulgaris and non-rhizosphere soils 250 and 450 m from the source of emission that had different metal concentrations were collected for...

Bioremediation is a cost-effective and sustainable approach for treating polluted soils, but our ability to improve on current bioremediation strategies depends on our ability to isolate microorganisms from these soils. Although culturing is widely used in bioremediation research and applications, it is unknown whether the composition of cultured isolates closely mirrors the indigenous microbia...
