摘要

Abstract

Microorganisms in sediments are critical to marine ecosystems. The microbial communities in marine sediments of the Bohai Sea (BS) and Yellow Sea (YS)

the eastern Chinese marginal seas

were uncovered in employing the metagenomic approach. In addition

the taxonomic and functional compositions of microbes were compared among various sediment core depths. Results showing the compositions

diversities

and functions of the microbial communities showed no significant variations with sea areas

and significant seasonal variations was observed in station 3500-7 only on functions of the microbial communities. Moreover

the compositions

diversities

and functions of the microbial communities changed noticeably in different sediment depths in close correlation with physical and chemical properties of sediments. However

the large fraction of the variation in functional communities remained unexplained. From bioinformatic analysis of the metagenomic data

the carbon-metabolism-related genes such as glycosyl transferase (GT)

glycoside hydrolase (GH)

and carbohydrate esterase (CE) genes were rich in the microbial community

especially in the top sediment depth. Additionally

in this N-polluted habitat

nitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) were dominant in the top sediment depth

whereas dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and denitrification were dominant in the middle and bottom depth

respectively. Further identification of possible biogeochemical links suggested that Gammaproteobacteria

Alphaproteobacteria

Nitrospirae

Nitrospinae

Chloroflexi

and Methanomicrobia might promote effective circulation of carbon and nitrogen cycling. This study expanded our knowledge about the structure and functional potential of microbial communities associated with different sediment depth

and provided further comprehensive information on element cycles in marine environments.
