Seagrass meadows are important ecosystems with nitrogen usually limiting their productivity. Sulfate-reducing bacteria and nitrogen-fixing bacteria can both fix nitrogen in seagrass meadows. They show different response patterns under polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pressure.
Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems with high productivity and biodiversity and often in the oligotrophic area. Nitrogen usually limits productivity in this ecosystem as the main nutrient factor. Biological nitrogen fixation by diazotrophs in the rhizosphere sediment can introduce new nitrogen into the ecosystem. Previous studies revealed that most sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) can also fix nitrogen like the nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB). Moreover, both sulfate reduction and nitrogen fixation were affected by the organic pollutant. However, rare information is available regarding the NFB and SRB community composition and their temporal response to the pollutant. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and polymerase chain reaction denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis have been used to analyze NFB and SRB communities' shifts under different PAHs concentrations. They both experienced a dramatic shift under PAHs stress but exhibited different patterns. SRB could use the low and high concentration PAHs at the early stage of the incubation, while only the low concentration of PAHs could stimulate the growth of NFB through the whole incubation period. The predominant species of NFB communities were Alphaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, and Deltaproteobacteria; while for SRB communities were class Epsilonproteobacteria. Redundancy analysis indicated the significant environmental factors for the two communities were both ammonium and pH (P < 0.05). There existed nifH sequences related to known nitrogen fixing SRB Desulfatibacillum alkenivorans, which confirmed that microbial N-2 fixation and sulfate reduction were coupled in the seagrass ecosystem by molecular technique. Our investigation provides new insight into the NFB and SRB community in the seagrass meadow.
