纳帕海湿地低温烈性噬菌体形态多样性研究

  • 出版日期: 2015-12-16
  • 噬菌体分布广泛,具有重要的生态作用,但关于湿地生态系统中噬菌体形态多样性的研究非常有限。纳帕海是我国独有的低纬度、低温、高海拔季节性高原沼泽湿地,深处三江并流保护区腹地,同时又是我国长江上游地区的重要水源地,其地质和生物资源都十分丰富,是开展地质学和生物学研究的重要基地。本研究从纳帕海高原湿地分离获得18株低温噬菌体,其中6株属于肌尾噬菌体科,4株属于短尾噬菌体科,8株属于长尾噬菌体科。18株低温噬菌体对宿主均具有特异性,宿主菌分属于8个不同的属,其中尤以侵染假单胞菌属的噬菌体最多。18株低温噬菌体在头部直径、尾管直径、尾管长上均有差异。从噬菌体宿主菌的多样性及噬菌体电镜形态上均表明纳帕海湿地低温微生物资源十分丰富,多样性表现突出。为进一步开展噬菌体的低温适应性机制、噬菌体与宿主的相互作用及噬菌体与宿主的协同进化机制等研究提供了宝贵的实验材料。

  • In summary, rod-shaped bacterial cells and Pseudomonas spp. dominated the bacterial community in the Napahai plateau wetland. Based on our TEM results, bacteriophages with larger capsids (60–140 nm) and Siphoviridae members were dominant. We were able to isolate a batch of cultured cold-active bacteriophages and their host bacterial strains, which should provide opportunities for further qualitative or quantitative analysis of bacteriophage function in wetland ecology. Specifically, these new isolates can help clarify bacteriophage coldadaptation mechanisms, structure, and assembly, as well as improve our understanding of phage-host co-evolution and interactions.

    Abstract: In summary, rod-shaped bacterial cells and Pseudomonas spp. dominated the bacterial community in the Napahai plateau wetland. Based on our TEM results, bacteriophages with larger capsids (60–140 nm) and Siphoviridae members were dominant. We were able to isolate a batch of cultured cold-active bacteriophages and their host bacterial strains, which should provide opportunities for further qualitative or quantitative analysis of bacteriophage function in wetland ecology. Specifically, these new isolates can help clarify bacteriophage coldadaptation mechanisms, structure, and assembly, as well as improve our understanding of phage-host co-evolution and interactions.
