缺氮条件下深海杆菌(Thalassotalea sp.)和海旋菌(Thalassospira sp.)对珊瑚共生虫黄藻的代谢补偿作用

Metabolic Compensation Effects of Thalassotalea sp. and Thalassospira sp. on Coral Symbiotic Zooxanthellae under Nitrogen Deficiency

  • 摘要: 珊瑚礁在寡营养水域中繁盛生长,其健康高度依赖于珊瑚宿主、虫黄藻及共生微生物组成的“全息体”。目前珊瑚研究多聚焦于珊瑚宿主与微生物的互作,而对细菌-虫黄藻互作机制了解尚少。氮是珊瑚维持健康生长的关键元素,在寡营养环境中含量极低,暗示其共生系统存在独特的氮适应策略。为探究该策略中菌-藻互作的具体机制,本研究构建了藻-菌共培养系统,结合代谢组学分析微生物群落的代谢变化。结果显示,在缺氮条件下,共培养体系中的细菌群落显著上调了多种氨基酸的生物合成途径,并增强了吲哚乙酸(IAA)等植物激素类物质的合成与分泌。本研究从代谢互作角度揭示了微生物与虫黄藻协同应对缺氮环境的潜在机制,也为珊瑚礁生态保护与修复提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: Coral reefs thrive in oligotrophic waters, and their health is highly dependent on the "holobiont" composed of the coral host, Symbiodiniaceae, and symbiotic microorganisms. Current coral research primarily focuses on the interactions between the coral host and microorganisms, while the mechanisms underlying bacteria–Symbiodiniaceae interactions remain poorly understood. Nitrogen is a key element for maintaining healthy coral growth, yet its concentration is extremely low in oligotrophic environments, suggesting that the symbiotic system possesses unique adaptation strategies to nitrogen limitation. To investigate the specific mechanisms of bacteria–algae interactions within this strategy, this study established an algae–bacteria co-culture system and combined it with metabolomics to analyze metabolic changes in the microbial community. The results revealed that under nitrogen-limited conditions, the bacterial community in the co-culture system significantly upregulated multiple amino acid biosynthesis pathways and enhanced the synthesis and secretion of plant hormone-like substances such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). This study elucidates the potential mechanisms of microbial synergy in response to nitrogen limitation from a metabolic interaction perspective and provides a theoretical basis for the conservation and restoration of coral reef ecosystems.
