海绵中可培养与原位微生物组成的DGGE指纹分析

Analysis of Sponge-associated Culturable and Natural Microbial Community Structure Based on DGGE Fingerprinting

采用不依赖于分离培养的PCR-DGGE基因指纹技术对我国南海4种海绵体内的原位微生物种群组成以及混合培养的海绵微生物组成进行分析,通过比较不同指纹图间的差异与相似性,揭示可培养微生物与海绵原位存在的微生物的关系。由实验可以看出,来自同一海域的不同海绵体内的微生物存在宿主特异性,不同的培养条件是影响微生物可培养的重要因素,目前所能培养的海绵微生物还仅占自然环境下海绵微生物总量的很少一部分。

The microbial community structure of 4 kinds of sponges in South China Sea were revealed using culture-independent PCR- DGGE gene fingerprint technique as well as the mixed culturable microorganism. The relationship between the culturable and un-culturable microorganism was studied based on the different fingerprint profile. It was found that there is host specificity for microorganism in different sponges from the same marine area. Culture condition such as medium is an important factor for sponge-associated microbial cultivation and the culturable microorganism amount to only a little part of the total sponge-associated microorganisms.
