Nitrogen-cycling gene pool shrunk by species interactions among denser bacterial and archaeal community stimulated by excess organic matter and total nitrogen in a eutrophic bay
Tao, Yile; Zhang, Liyue; Su, Zhiguo; et al. (2021)
Marine Environmental Research
Microbial densities, functional genes, and their responses to environment factors have been studied for years, but still a lot remains unknown about their interactions with each other. In this study, the abundances of 7 nitrogen cycling genes in the sediments from Hangzhou Bay were analyzed along with bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA abundances as the biomarkers of their densities. The amount of organic matter (OM) and total nitrogen (TN) strongly positively correlated with each other and microbial densities, while total phosphate (TP) and ammonia-nitrogen (NH3–N) did not. Most studied genes were density suppressed, while nirS was density stable, and nosZ and hzo were density irrelevant. This suggests eutrophication could limit inorganic nitrogen cycle pathways and the removal of nitrogen in the sediment and emit more greenhouse gases. This study provides a new insight of microbial community structures, functions and their interactions in the sediments of eutrophic bays.

Distribution and variation of ¹²⁹I in Danish water
Mindová, Miriam; Němec, Mojmír; Hou, Xiaolin; et al. (2025)
Marine Environmental Research
This study explores the distribution and dynamics of iodine isotopes in coastal and marine waters of Denmark and the Baltic region. The highest 129I concentrations were observed in the west coast in the North Sea and North of Kattegat, with significantly decreasing trend southward into the Baltic, confirming the Great Belt as the primary pathway for iodine-rich North Sea inflows. Freshwater inflows and limited vertical mixing create stratified iodine distributions, with higher concentrations in deep saline currents and lower concentrations in surface waters. Temporal variability in 129I levels is influenced by climatic factors, including wind patterns, precipitation, and seasonal temperature shifts, affecting water mass exchange and isotopic composition. The findings enhance understanding of iodine transport and its dependence on regional hydrographic and climatic processes.
A legacy of invasive sun corals: Distinct mobile invertebrate assemblages at near-reef coral-dominated rubble
Merz, Ewa; Kitahara, Marcelo V.; Flores, Augusto A.V. (2023)
Marine Environmental Research
Fast-growing and reproducing sun corals have successfully invaded rocky reefs around the Atlantic Ocean, markedly reducing the diversity of fouling invertebrates and macroalgae, and profoundly changing the composition of reef-associated mobile invertebrates. Here, we address sun-coral rubble depositions and report, for the first time, the effects of sun corals on near-reef soft-bottom invertebrate assemblages. Abundance, richness and diversity were higher at rubble habitats compared to bare sandy grounds, which could be a positive effect of substrate complexity. All those parameters were also higher at rubble patches dominated by sun-coral fragments compared to rubble patches dominated by pebbles or shell fragments, also suggesting possible additive effects of coral-borne chemical attraction (sun-coral specific, as inputs of other coral species were virtually absent). Different epifaunal groups were exclusive of rubble habitats and a subset of those exclusive of sun-coral rubble, explaining the incremental richness across habitats. The relative abundance of the two dominant groups – polychaetes (p) and amphipods (a) – contributed the most to the observed contrasts on community structure, as their proportion (p:a) changed from 10:1 in bare sand to nearly co-dominance in coral rubble. While previous research suggested that spreading sun corals reduce prey supply for fish foraging on reef walls, our results suggest they may increase prey abundance and diversity at the adjacent non-consolidated habitat, possibly reshaping trophic pathways connecting the benthic and the pelagic environment.
