“…Medrano-Santillana et al found that the bacterial communities in volcanic soils were characterized by the prevalence of Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria [65,66]. The same phyla were disclosed in this study, along with others, such as Planctomycetes and Bacteroidetes, in agreement with other studies showing that members of these phyla have been found in a wide variety of environments, confirming their strong versatility.…”

Bacterial Communities from Extreme Environments: Vulcano Island

et al. 2019

Although volcanoes represent extreme environments for life, they harbour bacterial communities. Vulcano Island (Aeolian Islands, Sicily) presents an intense fumarolic activity and widespread soil degassing, fed by variable amounts of magmatic gases (dominant at La Fossa Crater) and hydrothermal fluids (dominant at Levante Bay). The aim of this study is to analyse the microbial communities from the different environments of Vulcano Island and to evaluate their possible correlation with the composition of the gas emissions. Microbial analyses were carried out on soils and pioneer plants from both La Fossa Crater and Levante Bay. Total DNA has been extracted from all the samples and sequenced through Illumina MiSeq platform. The analysis of microbiome composition and the gases sampled in the same sites could suggest a possible correlation between the two parameters. We can suggest that the ability of different bacterial genera/species to survive in the same area might be due to the selection of particular genetic traits allowing the survival of these microorganisms. On the other side, the finding that microbial communities inhabiting different sites exhibiting different emission profiles are similar might be explained on the basis of a possible sharing of metabolic abilities related to the gas composition.

“…This ranked comparison underscores the hypothesis that fumaroles, as sites of hydrothermal activity and sources of chemical energy, would be more likely to host microbial communities than unaltered rocks (Costello et al, 2009;Wall et al, 2015;Medrano-Santillana et al, 2017). The sub-10 ns fluorescence activity shown in TRF measurements of the POIs from these samples is additional compelling evidence for the presence of organic material.…”

Understanding the distribution of trace organic material in a rocky environment is a key to constraining the material requirements for sustaining microbial life. We used an ultraviolet laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy instrument to characterize the distribution of organic biosignatures in basalts collected from two Mars-analog environments. We correlated the fluorescence results with alteration-related sample properties. These samples exhibit a range of alteration conditions found in the volcanic environments of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, Hawai'i (HI), and Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho (ID), including fumarolic systems. LIF mapping of the sample surfaces and interiors showed a heterogeneous distribution of areas of highly fluorescent material (point[s]-of-interest [POIs])-with fluorescence characteristics indicative of organic material. Results suggest that POIs are associated with secondary alteration mineral deposits in the rock's vesicles, including zeolites and calcite. Scanning electron microscopy with electron-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used to characterize the mineralogy present at POIs and support the evidence of carbonbearing material. Overall, samples collected proximate to active or relict meteoric fumaroles from Hawai'i were shown to contain evidence for organic deposits. This suggests that these minerals are measurable spectroscopic targets that may be used to inform sample-site selection for astrobiology research.

“…Volcanic systems are dominated by sulfur oxidizing microorganisms, while the presence of sulfatereducing bacteria has not been described in detail [65][66][67]. It is important to consider that the active volcano El Chichón also presents acidic characteristics (pH 2-6), microorganisms have been described that have the capacity to carry out sulfate reduction processes under these conditions such as Desulfurella, Thermodesulfobium, Desulfurococcus, Desulfosarcinacetonica [68][69][70].…”

Background: El Chichón volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico. Previous studies have described the poly-extreme conditions of the lake crater but its bacterial composition and the functional features of the complete microbiome have not been characterized yet.Methods: This study integrated two approaches to explain the microbiology diversity and abundance, one focused on the environmental genomic potential by metagenomics approach, and other culturomics of enrichment of bacteria and archaea. The microbial diversity of the anaerobic consortia cultivated in was carried out by metabarcoding analysis, the metabolic capacity by metabolomics uxes of carbon and enzymologic techniques for the analysis of sulfate reduction in laboratory-grown prokaryotic cells.Results: This work provides new information on the taxonomic and functional diversity of the Archea representative phyla Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota as well as the phyla Thermotogales and Aqui cae for Bacteria. Through the analysis of microbial consortia cultivation and the genetic information collected from the natural environment sampling, metabolic interactions were identi ed between the microorganisms that support the life of the microbiome under multi-extreme conditions. A close relationship is proposed between the cycles of carbon and sulfur in an active volcano.Conclusions: This research contributes to the understanding of microbial metabolism under extreme conditions and potential knowledge of "microbial dark matter" that can be applied in biotechnological processes and evolutionary studies.
