摘要

Abstract

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are ubiquitous anaerobic microorganisms that play significant roles in the global biogeochemical cycle. Coastal wetlands

one of the major habitats of SRB

exhibit high sulfate-reducing activity and thus play significant roles in organic carbon remineralization

benthic geochemical action

and plant-microbe interactions. Recent studies have provided credible evidence that the functional rather than the taxonomic composition of microbes responds more closely to environmental factors. Therefore

in this study

functional gene prediction based on PacBio single molecular real-time sequencing of 16S rDNA was applied to determine the sulfate-reducing and organic substrate-decomposing activities of SRB in the rhizospheres of two typical coastal wetland plants in North and South China:

Zostera japonica

and

Scirpus mariqueter

. To this end

some physicochemical characteristics of the sediments as well as the phylogenetic structure

community composition

diversity

and proportions of several functional genes of the SRB in the two plant rhizospheres were analyzed. The

Z. japonic

a meadow had a higher dissimilatory sulfate reduction capability than the

S. mariqueter

-comprising saltmarsh

owing to its larger proportion of SRB in the microbial community

larger proportions of functional genes involved in dissimilatory sulfate reduction

and the stronger ability of the SRB to degrade organic substrates completely. This study confirmed the feasibility of applying microbial community function prediction in research on the metabolic features of SRB

which will be helpful for gaining new knowledge of the biogeochemical and ecological roles of these bacteria in coastal wetlands.
