Diversity of purple nonsulfur bacteria in shrimp ponds with varying mercury levels

Abstract: This research aimed to study the diversity of purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) and to investigate the effect of Hg concentrations in shrimp ponds on PNSB diversity. Amplification of the pufM gene was detected in 13 and 10 samples of water and sediment collected from 16 shrimp ponds in Southern Thailand. In addition to PNSB, other anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (APB) were also observed; purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) and aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (AAPB) although most of them could not be identifi… Show more

“…marina and A. phaeobacterium are members of purple sulfur bacteria, oxidizing sulfide, thiosulfate or elemental sulfur as electron donors for photolithotrophic growth under an anoxic condition (Imhoff et al, 1998;Caumette et al, 2004;Kumar et al 2007;Srinivas et al, 2009) . This finding is supported by the study of Mukkata et al (2016) , in which high concentration of H 2 S was assumed by the detection of anaerobic purple sulfur bacteria Allochromatium sp. in shrimp pond.…”

“…It helps to clarify that AAP bacteria are not strictly restrained within the euphotic layer in surface water. Previous work documented that AAP bacteria of Alphaproteobacteria were present in both water samples and sediments at ratios of 25.7% and 27.8% of all puf M sequences derived from shrimp ponds [28]. The dark condition promoted the accumulation of BChl [29].…”

“…As numerously reported, purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) are an important subgroup of anoxygenic phototrophs used for waste biodegradation and hydrogen production [7][8]. Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. palustris) is among the most metabolically versatile microorganisms known and reserves a much larger inventory of degradation genes than current knowledge by genome sequencing [9].…”
