Detection of Anammox Activity and 16S rRNA Genes in Ravine Paddy Field Soil
نویسندگان
چکیده
An anammox assay involving a ¹⁵N tracer and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed that the potential anammox activity accounted for 1 to 5% of total N₂ production in a ravine paddy field, Japan. Among four 4-cm-deep layers, the top layer showed the highest activity. Clone libraries showed that the DNA in the top layer contained sequences related to those of Candidatus 'Brocadia fulgida', Ca. 'B. anammoxidans', and Ca. 'Kuenenia stuttgartiensis'. These results suggest that a specific population of anammox bacteria was present in paddy soils, although a small part of dinitrogen gas was emitted from the soil via anammox.

Co-occurrence and distribution of nitrite-dependent anaerobic ammonium and methane-oxidizing bacteria in a paddy soil.
The anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) and nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane-oxidizing (n-damo) bacteria in a paddy soil core (0-100 cm) were investigated with newly designed primers targeting the hydrazine synthase β-subunit (hzsB) of anammox bacteria and the recently published primers targeting the pmoA and 16S rRNA genes of n-damo bacteria. The hzsB gene was identified as a proper biom...
متن کاملActivity, abundance and community structure of anammox bacteria along depth profiles in three different paddy soils
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a globally important nitrogen-cycling process mediated by specialized microbes, and has been demonstrated to be ubiquitous in anoxic natural settings and bioreactors. However, our knowledge of its prevalence in different paddy soil types and along the depth profiles remains largely undocumented. Here, mesocosm incubations were constructed to investigate...

Mycoplasmas are very small bacteria lacking cell walls that belong to various genera within the class Mollicutes, and also the smallest organisms that can live independently. They are able to cause serious and chronic disease because of some unique characteristics. Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is an important avian pathogen causing significant economical losses within the poultry industry. The...
متن کاملPotential contribution of anammox to nitrogen loss from paddy soils in Southern China.
The anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) process has been observed in diverse terrestrial ecosystems, while the contribution of anammox to N2 production in paddy soils is not well documented. In this study, the anammox activity and the abundance and diversity of anammox bacteria were investigated to assess the anammox potential of 12 typical paddy soils collected in southern China. Anammox...
متن کاملIdentification of Active Denitrifiers in Rice Paddy Soil by DNA- and RNA-Based Analyses
Denitrification occurs markedly in rice paddy fields; however, few microbes that are actively involved in denitrification in these environments have been identified. In this study, we used a laboratory soil microcosm system in which denitrification activity was enhanced. DNA and RNA were extracted from soil at six time points after enhancing denitrification activity, and quantitative PCR and cl...
