摘要: 本研究对豆荚软珊瑚(Lobophytum sp.)个体在不同水质条件下饲养1个月, 通过高通量测序技术比较分析水质变化下珊瑚共生藻、水体细菌和珊瑚共生细菌的群落结构变化特征。结果显示: 1)环境营养盐在硝态氮0~80.64μmol·L-1、磷酸盐0~ 1.05μmol·L-1时, 珊瑚共生藻丰富度大幅降低, 三组珊瑚共生藻均以Cladocopium属为主导优势种群(相对丰度70.25%~ 98.13%), 且该属共生藻对低营养盐耐受性较佳, 对高营养盐耐受性较差; 2)水体细菌和珊瑚共生细菌主导优势种群均为变形菌门(Proteobacteria)(相对丰度45.63%~86.55%), 在属水平上水体细菌多样性(Shannon指数4.60~4.97)高于珊瑚共生细菌多样性(Shannon指数2.58~3.81), 且两者优势菌群种类具有相对独立性; 3)共生细菌Cohaesibacter表现出较强的低营养盐耐受性, 环境营养盐降低, 其丰度显著升高, 由<3%升高至40.27%, 且该属珊瑚对共生细菌弧菌(Vibrio)具有较强的适应性(Vibrio属丰度占比23.71%时珊瑚共生体未表现出明显异常)。研究表明, 水质变化(营养盐)能够影响豆荚软珊瑚共生藻和共生细菌的种群结构, 其中珊瑚共生细菌群落结构的改变更为显著, 且相较于环境水体细菌, 环境营养盐的变动对该珊瑚共生细菌群落结构的影响更为明显。本实验旨在补充水质变化对珊瑚共生体的影响研究, 为珊瑚共生系统的稳态研究提供实验依据, 同时为制定珊瑚保育方案提供一定借鉴。

Abstract:

In this study, Lobophytum sp. was cultured under different water qualities for one month, and the community structure of Symbiodiniaceae, ambient water bacteria, and symbiotic bacteria were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing technology. The findings indicated the following. 1) Symbiodiniaceae richness decreased significantly under nutrients conditions ranging from 0 to 80.64 μmol·L-1 nitrate and 0 to 1.05 μmol·L-1 phosphate. Cladocopium sp. dominated the Symbiodiniaceae in all three coral groups, with a relative abundance ranging from 70.25% to 98.13%, exhibiting higher tolerance to low nutrients concentration but greater sensitivity to high nutrients concentration. 2) At the phylum level, water-associated bacteria and coral symbiotic bacteria differed in relative abundance, with all dominant bacterial populations belonging to Proteobacteria, ranging from 45.63% to 86.55% in relative abundance. However, the environmental bacterial diversity at the genus level (Shannon index 4.60~4.97) was higher than that of coral symbiotic bacteria (Shannon index 2.58~3.81), with distinct taxonomic separation between the two communities at the genus level. 3) The coral symbiotic bacterium Cohaesibacter exhibited high tolerance to low nutrient levels, with its relative abundance increasing significantly from < 3% to 40.27% as nutrient levels decreased. Additionally, this genus of soft corals demonstrated strong adaptability to symbiotic bacteria Vibrio, with no significant anomalies observed even at a high Vibrio abundance of 23.71%. These results suggest that the abundance of Symbiodiniaceae and symbiotic bacteria in corals is influenced by ambient water quality, leading to changes in dominant bacteria and alterations in community structure of symbiotic bacteria from corals. Moreover, nutrient fluctuations preferentially shaped the community structure of coral-associated bacteria over environmental bacteria, with more pronounced effects on the former. This study contributes to the growing body of research on soft corals by providing a foundation for understanding how different water quality parameters dynamically affect the structure of symbiotic microorganisms in soft corals. It also offers insights into the effect of water quality fluctuations on soft coral Symbiodiniaceae and bacterial community structure in artificial environments, thereby supporting the development of coral conservation programs.
