讲座内容及其意义:
Five different snow types and frost flowers in Barrow, Alaska, USA were examined for the identification, microbial population and their freezing nucleation activity. In addition to the culturing and gene sequence-based identification approach, the state-of-the-art genomic next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique was used to examine the diversity of bacterial communities in Arctic samples. Known phyla were detected (11-18) with the majority of sequences (12.3-83.1%) belonging to one of the five major phyla: Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Cyanobacteria. The number of genera detected ranged from, 101-245. Morphology and ice-nucleating abilities of the identified taxa and melted snow were obtained using both high resolution electron microscopy and ice nucleation cold-plate. Freezing point temperatures for bacterial isolates ranged from -20.3 ± 1.5 ℃ to -15.7 ± 5.6 ℃, and for melted samples from -9.5 ± 1.0 ℃ to -18.4 ± 0.1 ℃. An isolate belonging to the genus Bacillus (96% similarity) had ice nucleation activity of -6.8 ± 0.2 ℃. Comparison with Montreal urban snow, revealed that a seemingly diverse community of bacteria exists in the Arctic with some possibly originating from distinct ecological environments transported by Asian/African dust storm.
