We investigated the structure of bacterial communities present in livestock manure-based composting processes and evaluated the bacterial succession during the composting processes. Compost samples were derived separately from swine manure, dairy manure and sewage sludge. The structure of the bacterial community was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) using universal eubacterial primers. The genus Bacillus and related genera were mainly detected following the thermophilic composting phase of swine and dairy manure composts, and the members of the phylum Bacteroidetes were mainly detected in the cattle manure waste-based and sewage sludge compost. We recovered and sequenced limited number of the bands; however, the PCR-DGGE analysis showed that predominant diversities during the composting processes were markedly changed. Although PCR-DGGE analysis revealed the presence of different phyla in the early stages of composting, the members of the phylum Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were observed to be one of the predominant phyla after the thermophilic phase.

This paper reported the use of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and the culture-based method in the intrinsic bioremediation study at a petroleum contaminated site. The study showed that phenol hydroxylase gene was detected in groundwater contaminated with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene isomers (BTEX) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). This indicated that intrinsic bioremediation occurred at the site. DGGE analyses revealed that the petroleum-hydrocarbon plume caused the variation in microbial communities. MTBE degraders including Pseudomonas sp. NKNU01, Bacillus sp. NKNU01, Klebsiella sp. NKNU01, Enterobacter sp. NKNU01, and Enterobacter sp. NKNU02 were isolated from the contaminated groundwater using the cultured-based method. Among these five strains, Enterobacter sp. NKNU02 is the most effective stain at degrading MTBE without the addition of pentane. The MTBE biodegradation experiment indicated that the isolated bacteria were affected by propane. Biodegradation of MTBE was decreased but not totally inhibited in the mixtures of BTEX. Enterobacter sp. NKNU02 degraded about 60% of MTBE in the bioreactor study. Tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), acetic acid, 2-propanol, and propenoic acid were detected using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry during MTBE degraded by the rest cells of Enterobacter sp. NKNU02. The effectiveness of bioremediation of MTBE was assessed for potential field-scale application.

Symbiobacterium toebii has been reported as a thermophile exhibiting a commensal interaction with Geobacillus toebii. The distribution of the commensal thermophiles in various soils was investigated using a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Based on the DGGE analysis, the enrichment condition for the growth of Symbiobacterium sp. was found to also enrich populations of several other microbial spp. as well as Symbiobacterium sp. In the enrichment experiment, several different 16S rDNA sequences of commensal thermophiles were detected in all of the soil samples tested, indicating that commensal thermophiles are widely distributed in various soils.

In this study, the identity and distribution of plants and the structure of their associated rhizobacterial communities were examined in an oil-contaminated site. The number of plant species that formed a community or were scattered was 24. The species living in soil highly contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) (9,000-4,5000 mg/g-soil) were Cynodon dactylon, Persicaria lapathifolia, and Calystegia soldanella (a halophytic species). Among the 24 plant species, the following have been known to be effective for oil removal: C. dactylon, Digitaria sanguinalis, and Cyperus orthostachyus. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profile analysis showed that the following pairs of plant species had highly similar (above 70%) rhizobacterial community structures: Artemisia princeps and Hemistepta lyrata; C. dactylon and P. lapathifolia; Carex kobomugi and Cardamine flexuosa; and Equisetum arvense and D. sanguinalis. The major groups of rhizobacteria were Beta-proteobacteria, Gamma-proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Actinobacteria, and unknown. Based on DGGE analysis, P. lapathifolia, found for the first time in this study growing in the presence of high TPH, may be a good species for phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soils and in particular, C. soldanella may be useful for soils with high TPH and salt concentrations. Overall, this study suggests that the plant roots, regardless of plant species, may have a similar influence on the bacterial community structure in oil-contaminated soil.

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) is one of the most frequently used methods for analysis of soil microbial community structure. Unbiased PCR amplification of target DNA templates is crucial for efficient detection of multiple microbial populations mixed in soil. In this study, DGGE profiles were compared using different pairs of primers targeting different hypervariable regions of thirteen representative soil bacteria and clones. The primer set (1070f-1392r) for the E. coli numbering 1,071-1,391 region could not resolve all the 16S rDNA fragments of the representative bacteria and clones, and moreover, yielded spurious bands in DGGE profiles. For the E. coli numbering 353-514 region, various forward primers were designed to investigate the efficiency of PCR amplification. A degenerate forward primer (F357IW) often yielded multiple bands for a certain single 16S rDNA fragment in DGGE analysis, whereas nondegenerate primers (338f, F338T2, F338I2) differentially amplified each of the fragments in the mixture according to the position and the number of primer-template mismatches. A forward primer (F352T) designed to have one internal mismatch commonly with all the thirteen 16S rDNA fragments efficiently produced and separated all the target DNA bands with similar intensities in the DGGE profiles. This primer set F352T-519r consistently yielded the best DGGE banding profiles when tested with various soil samples. Touchdown PCR intensified the uneven amplification, and lowering the annealing temperature had no significant effect on the DGGE profiles. These results showed that PCR amplification bias could be much improved by properly designing primers for use in fingerprinting soil bacterial communities with the DGGE technique.

대청호에서 수화 발생시기인 2003년 7월에서 10월까지 분자생태학적 방법의 하나인 DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis)를 이용하여 시간에 따른 세균군집구조의 변화를 연구하였다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 식물플랑크톤을 형태학적으로 분류한 결과 cyanobacteria, 규조류 및 녹조류가 발견되었고, 이 중 Microcystis, Chroococcus, Oscillatoria, Phormidium 속이 크게 우점하였다. 16S rDNA의 DGGE pronto 분석에 의하여 Microcystis flos-aquae와 Oscillatoria spp.가 우점하는 것으로 확인되었으며, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae는 8월 중순에 우점하는 것으로 확인되었다. DGGE profile을 토대로 cluster analysis를 적용하여 다양한 미생물 군집의 유사성을 비교한 결과, 9월 2일의 미생물 군집이 다른 시기의 시료와 확연히 다른 그룹으로 구분되었다. 결과적으로 분자 생물학적 방법은 형태적 분석방법과 유사한 결과를 보였으며, 일부 세균의 분포 및 변화, 미생물 군집의 유사성 등에 대한 추가적 정보를 제공하였다.

초음파가 식물플랑크톤에 미치는 영향을 조사할 목적으로, 이화학적 그리고 생물학적으로 유사한 두 군데의 부영양화 연못에서 2003년 8월 18일부터 9월 30일까지 약 4일 간격으로 시료를 채취하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험기간 동안 출현한 식물플랑크톤 군집은 규조류(Bacillariophyceae)가 거의 대부분을 차지하였으며, 남세균(Cyanophyceae)은 상대적으로 적은 비중을 차지하였다. 분자생물학적 기법중의 하나인 DGGE(denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis)를 이용하여 식물플랑크톤 군집 구조를 비교분석하였다. 16S rDNA의 DGGE profile 분석에 의하여 처리구 연못에서는 Oscillatoria acuminata를 비롯하여 CFB (Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides) group bacterium 등이 나타나는 것으로 확인되었으며, 초음파가 정지된 시기에 특이적으로 Pseudanabaena sp.가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 대조구 연못에서는 Synechococcus sp.와 Aphanizomenon flos-aquae가 출현하는 것을 확인하였다. 18S rDNA의 DGGE profile분석결과 처리구 연못에서는 Chlamydomonas rein. hardtii가 우점하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 초음파 처리에 크게 반응하지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 대조구 연못에서는 처리구 연못에서 나타난 C. reinhardtii를 포함하여 Pteromonas protracta가 출현하였다. 결과적으로 초음파는 진핵성 식물플랑크톤 보다는 원핵성 식물플랑크톤의 다양성에 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되며, 일부 남세균(Pseudanabaena sp.)의 생장에 저해를 주는 것으로 판단된다.
