Abstract
The microbiome of soils and supraglacial formations in background and oil-polluted ecosystems of Hayes Island (Franz Josef Land) was studied using the methods of luminescent microscopyreal-time and polymerase chain reaction. The biomass of microorganisms ranged from 81 to 666 μg C/g substrate; its larger part (up to 88%) was represented by fungi. The length of the fungal mycelium reached more than 360 m/g substrate. The number of prokaryotes varied from 4.0 × 107 to 3.75 × 109 cells/g substrate; the length of actinomycete hyphae reached 40 m/g substrate. Up to 78% of detected prokaryotic cells were represented by small nanoforms, which is typical for extreme ecosystems. The proportion of viable microbial cells gained maximum (74–86%) in surface organic horizons and minimum (29–54%) in mineral supra-permafrost layers. Bacteria dominated in the prokaryotic complex (from 5.14 × 105 to 5.05 × 1010 16S rRNA copies/g soil); the content of archaea was lower: from 8.46 × 105 to 2.28 × 109 16S rRNA copies/g substrate. The amount of fungal ITS rRNA in the soil samples ranged from 6.47 × 104 to 8.67 × 1010 copies. The number of copies of the alkB gene (synthesis of alkane monooxygenase for the destruction of n-alkanes of hydrocarbons) varied from 1.2 × 101 to 1.8 × 105 copies/g substrate and sharply decreased from surface to deep horizons. Oil-contaminated soils and supraglacial objects contained a smaller biomass, but a larger number of ribosomal genes of microorganisms as compared with background ecosystems. An exponential decrease in the analyzed quantitative parameters of microorganisms from surface to deep soil horizons was observed.
期刊介绍:
Eurasian Soil Science publishes original research papers on global and regional studies discussing both theoretical and experimental problems of genesis, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, management, conservation, and remediation of soils. Special sections are devoted to current news in the life of the International and Russian soil science societies and to the history of soil sciences.
Since 2000, the journal Agricultural Chemistry, the English version of the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences Agrokhimiya, has been merged into the journal Eurasian Soil Science and is no longer published as a separate title.
