Population dynamics of marine magnetotactic bacteria in a meromictic salt pond described with qPCR.
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) contain membrane-bound magnetic iron minerals and are globally abundant in the suboxic/anoxic portions of chemically stratified marine and freshwater environments. However, their population dynamics and potential quantitative contribution to the biogeochemical cycles that they influence (iron, sulfur, carbon) have not been previously considered. Here we report the f...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal distribution of marine magnetotactic bacteria in a seasonally stratified coastal salt pond.
The occurrence and distribution of magnetotactic bacteria (MB) were studied as a function of the physical and chemical conditions in meromictic Salt Pond, Falmouth, Mass., throughout summer 2002. Three dominant MB morphotypes were observed to occur within the chemocline. Small microaerophilic magnetite-producing cocci were present at the top of the chemocline, while a greigite-producing packet-...
متن کاملGeobiology of Marine Magnetotactic Bacteria
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize intracellular membrane-bound crystals of magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4), and are abundant in the suboxic to anoxic zones of stratified marine environments worldwide. Their population densities (up to 10 cells ml−1) and high intracellular iron content suggest a potentially significant role in iron cycling, but very little is known about their pop...
متن کاملA Preliminary Report on the Isolation and Identification of Magnetotactic bacteria from Iran Environment
Several species of Magnetotactic bacteria have been discovered recently. These bacteria synthesize intracellular magnetic nanoparticles in specific sizes and shapes and arrange them in chains. These particles called magnetosomes and can be used for drug-delivery, cell-targeting and hyperthermia. Magnetotactic bacteria navigate along the magnetic field; this process is known as ‘magnetotaxis’ wh...

In this study abundance and composition of Vibrio spp. In water and sediment of inlet Chanel and shrimp pond during the entire crop cycle were done in Gowater shrimp complex. Samples of source (Inlet chanel) water and pond water werecollected one day prior to filling the pond with water and thereafter at twenty day intervals after stocking at three pre-determined sampling locations in two po...
