Abstract:
:The phylogenetic diversity of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO, E.C. 4.1.1.39) large-subunit genes of deep-sea microorganisms was analyzed. Bulk genomic DNA was isolated from seven samples, including samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and various deep-sea habitats around Japan. The kinds of samples were hydrothermal vent water and chimney fragment; reducing sediments from a bathyal seep, a hadal seep, and a presumed seep; and symbiont-bearing tissues of the vent mussel, Bathymodiolus sp., and the seep vestimentiferan tubeworm, Lamellibrachia sp. The RuBisCO genes that encode both form I and form II large subunits (cbbL and cbbM) were amplified by PCR from the seven deep-sea sample DNA populations, cloned, and sequenced. From each sample, 50 cbbL clones and 50 cbbM clones, if amplified, were recovered and sequenced to group them into operational taxonomic units (OTUs). A total of 29 OTUs were recorded from the 300 total cbbL clones, and a total of 24 OTUs were recorded from the 250 total cbbM clones. All the current OTUs have the characteristic RuBisCO amino acid motif sequences that exist in other RuBisCOs. The recorded OTUs were related to different RuBisCO groups of proteobacteria, cyanobacteria, and eukarya. The diversity of the RuBisCO genes may be correlated with certain characteristics of the microbial habitats. The RuBisCO sequences from the symbiont-bearing tissues showed a phylogenetic relationship with those from the ambient bacteria. Also, the RuBisCO sequences of known species of thiobacilli and those from widely distributed marine habitats were closely related to each other. This suggests that the Thiobacillus-related RuBisCO may be distributed globally and contribute to the primary production in the deep sea.
