Effects of Spartina alterniflora invasion on the communities of methanogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria in estuarine marsh sediments

Abstract: The effect of plant invasion on the microorganisms of soil sediments is very important for estuary ecology. The community structures of methanogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) as a function of Spartina alterniflora invasion in Phragmites australis-vegetated sediments of the Dongtan wetland in the Yangtze River estuary, China, were investigated using 454 pyrosequencing and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) of the methyl coenzyme M reductase A (mcrA) and dissimilatory sulfite-reductase (dsrB) genes.

“…Several submissions have highlighted the importance for plant-microbial feedbacks for the regulation of organic matter decomposition and formation Thomson et al, 2013;Churchland and Grayston, under review), the production of biogenic volatile organic compounds (Rinnan et al, 2013), and the community composition of methanogens and sulfate reducing bacteria (Zeleke et al, 2013). A very active research area in soil microbial ecology is presently how small amounts of labile carbon sources can trigger, or "prime," the decomposition of soil organic matter.…”
