Characterization of a homogeneous taxonomic group of marine magnetotactic cocci within a low tide zone in the China Sea

Abstract: Magnetotactic bacteria are a heterologous group of motile prokaryotes, ubiquitous in aquatic habitats and cosmopolitan in distribution. Here, we studied the diversity of magnetotactic bacteria in a seawater pond within an intertidal zone at Huiquan Bay in the China Sea. The pond is composed of a permanently submerged part and a low tide subregion. The magnetotactic bacteria collected from the permanently submerged part display diversity in morphology and taxonomy. In contrast, we found a virtually homogenous p… Show more

“…Interestingly, MMPs from distant sites in North and South America, Europe and Asia share the rosette-like morphology. Therefore, the rosette shape seems to be the dominant morphotype of MMPs, just as cocci are often dominant in the community of unicellular magnetotactic bacteria in various environments (Mann et al, 1990a;Pan et al, 2008;Lin et al, 2009). …”

“…The sampling site is an intertidal sandy area with a water salinity of 35‰ and a pH of 7.6. As previously reported, magnetotactic bacteria in the samples were magnetically enriched by attaching the south pole of permanent magnets outside the bottles (25) and were purified using the racetrack method (34).…”

“…The 16S rRNA genes of collected bacterial cells were amplified with the universal primers 27f (5=-AGA GTY TGA TCC TGG CTC AG-3=) and 1492r (5=-GGT TAC CTT GTT ACG ACT T-3=) using PCR (16). The PCR amplification and construction of a 16S rRNA gene clone library were performed as previously reported (25). After eliminating four false-positive clones from library of 200 clones, we further screened the other clones using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis.…”
