The influence of oxygen and methane on nitrogen fixation in subarctic Sphagnum mosses
2018
Biological nitrogen fixation is an important source of bioavailable nitrogen in Sphagnum dominated peatlands. Sphagnum mosses harbor a diverse microbiome including nitrogen-fixing and methane (CH4) oxidizing bacteria. The inhibitory effect of oxygen on microbial nitrogen fixation is documented for many bacteria. However, the role of nitrogen-fixing methanotrophs in nitrogen supply to Sphagnum peat mosses is not well explored. Here, we investigated the role of both oxygen and methane on nitrogen fixation in subarctic Sphagnum peat mosses. Five species of Sphagnum mosses were sampled from two mesotrophic and three oligotrophic sites within the Lakkasuo peatland in Orivesi, central Finland. Mo…
The seed endosphere of Anadenanthera colubrina is inhabited by a complex microbiota, including Methylobacterium spp. and Staphylococcus spp. with pot…
2018
Background and aims: Plant seeds are emerging micro–habitats, whose importance as reservoir and vector of beneficial microbes just begins to be recognized. Here we aimed to characterize the bacterial microbiota of the Anadenanthera colubrina seed endosphere, with special focus to beneficial traits and to the colonization pattern. Methods: Cultivation–dependent (isolation from surface–sterilized seeds) and cultivation–independent (pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene from metagenomic seed DNA) analyses, functional tests and microscopical investigations (fluorescence in situ hybridization coupled with confocal laser scanning microscopy (FISH-CLSM) were performed. Results: We isolated several Methy…
Metagenomes of Mediterranean Coastal Lagoons
2012
Coastal lagoons, both hypersaline and freshwater, are common, but still understudied ecosystems. We describe, for the first time, using high throughput sequencing, the extant microbiota of two large and representative Mediterranean coastal lagoons, the hypersaline Mar Menor, and the freshwater Albufera de Valencia, both located on the south eastern coast of Spain. We show there are considerable differences in the microbiota of both lagoons, in comparison to other marine and freshwater habitats. Importantly, a novel uncultured sulfur oxidizing Alphaproteobacteria was found to dominate bacterioplankton in the hypersaline Mar Menor. Also, in the latter prokaryotic cyanobacteria were almost exc…
Stappia alba sp. nov., isolated from Mediterranean oysters
2005
Abstract Three bacterial strains isolated from oysters recovered at the Spanish Mediterranean coast have been phenotypically and genetically characterized. The results of the phylogenetic analysis based on almost complete 16S rDNA sequences clustered all three strains together with 99.9% average sequence similarity and situated them in the neighbourhood of the genera Stappia , Roseibium and Pannonibacter , Stappia aggregata being their closest neighbour with sequence similarities between 98.8% and 98.9%. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments using DNA of strains 5OM6 T and S. aggregata CECT 4269 T as reference DNAs confirmed the independent status at species level of the oyster isolates. Phenot…
OpenStack augstas pieejamības risinājumi
2016
Šis bakalaura darbs ir pētījums par OpenStack IaaS mākoņpakalpojumu platformu. Tā mērķis ir sniegt ieskatu augstas pieejamības pamatprincipos un OpenStack mākoņpakalpojumu platformas piedāvātajos augstas pieejamības nodrošināšanas risinājumos. Bakalaura darba gaitā ir veikta augsti pieejamas OpenStack trīs mezglu sistēmas uzstādīšana, izmantojot Galera Cluster datubāzu klasteri un HAProxy slodzes līdzsvarotāju. Tika pārbaudīta OpenStack augsta pieejamība, testējot OpenStack Glance komponentes funkcionalitāti tās servisu darbības pārrāvuma laikā. Bakalaura darba rezultātā ir izzināti OpenStack sistēmas piedāvātie augstas pieejamības risinājumi un praktiski pārbaudīta to darbība testa vidē.
