Bacterial community structure in the soft coral, Alcyonium antarcticum from Antarctica

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 09/10/2017

The structure and composition of microbial communities inhabiting the soft coral Alcyonium antarcticum were investigated across 3 differentially contaminated sites within McMurdo Sound, Antarctica - McMurdo Station (MM), Scott Base (SB) and Cape Armitage (CA).

Samples from all sites were subjected to culture-based analysis, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), 16S rRNA gene clone-library analysis, and (FISH).

Phylogenetic groups included Gamma-, Alpha- and Beta- proteobacteria; Bacteroidetes; Firmicutes; Actinomycetales; Planctomycetes; and Chlorobi and bacteria from the functional group of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
