英文摘要 | Minerals provide physical niches and supply nutrients or serve as electron donors/acceptors for microorganism survival and growth, and thus minerals and microbes co-evolved. Yet, little is known about how sediment minerals impact microbial community assembly in hot springs and to what extent mineralogical composition influences microbial community composition and diversity. Here the influences of minerals on thermophiles in Tengchong hot springs were revealed by network analysis of field samples, as well as in-situ microcosm experiments with minerals. A molecular ecological network was constructed based on high throughput sequencing data of 16S rRNA gene, with a combination of water geochemistry and sedimentary mineralogical compositions. Six modules were identified and this highly modular network structure represents the microbial preference to different abiotic factors, consequently resulting in niche partitioning in sedimentary communities in hot springs. Diverse mineralogical compositions generated special niches for microbial species. Subsequently, the in-situ microcosm experiments with four minerals (aragonite, albite, K-feldspar, and quartz) and spring water were conducted in a silicate-hosted alkaline spring (i.e., Gmq) and a carbonate-hosted neutral hot spring (i.e., Gxs) for 70 days. Different microbial preferences were observed among different mineral types (carbonate versus silicate). Aragonite microcosms in Gmq spring enriched archaeal genera Sulfophobococcus and Aeropyrum within the order Desulfurococcales by comparison with both in-situ water and silicate microcosms. Sulfophobococcus was also accumulated in Gxs aragonite microcosms, but the contribution to overall dissimilarity is much lower than that in Gmq spring. Besides, Caldimicrobium was a bacterial genus enriched in Gxs aragonite microcosms, in contrast to in-situ water and silicate microcosms, whereas Candidatus Kryptobacter and Thermus were more abundant in silicate microcosms. The differences in microbial accumulations among different mineral types in the same spring implied that mineral chemistry may exert extra deterministic selective pressure in drawing certain species from the bulk water communities, in addition to stochastic absorption on mineral surface. Taken together, our results highlight the special niche partitioning determined by mineralogical compositions and further confirm that minerals could be used as fishing bait to enrich certain rare microbial species. |
