Coral reefs perform a major role in regulating marine biodiversity and serve as hotspot for highly dynamic and diverse microbiomes as holobionts. Corals around Ishigaki, however, are at risk due to tremendous stressors including elevation of seawater temperature, eutrophication and so on. However, no information is currently available on how Vibrio diversity fluctuates spatially and temporally due to environmental determinants in Ishigaki coral reef ecosystems. The aim of this study is to elucidate spatiotemporal Vibrio diversity dynamic at both community and population levels and to assess the environmental drivers correlated to Vibrio abundance and diversity. The Vibrio community identified based on pyrH gene phylogeny of 685 isolates from seawater directly connecting to Ishigaki coral holobionts consisted of 22 known and 12 potential novel Vibrionaceae species. The most prominent species were V. hyugaensis, V. owensii and V. harveyi followed by V. maritimus/V. variabillis, V. campbellii, V. coralliilyticus, and Photobacterium rosenbergii. The Vibrio community fluctuations, assessed by PCoA with UniFrac distance and clustering with Euclidiean distance were varied less not only by year but also by site. Interestingly, significant positive correlation was observed between rising seawater temperature and the abundance of V. campbellii (r = 0.62; P < 0.05) whereas the opposite was observed for V. owensii (r = -0.58; P < 0.05) and the C6 group of V. hyugaensis (r = -0.62; P < 0.05). AdaptML-based microhabitat differentiation revealed that V. harveyi, V. campbellii, P. rosenbergii, and V. coralliilyticus populations were less-ecologically distinctive whereas V. astriarenae and V. ishigakensis were ecologically diverse. This knowledge could be important clue for the future actions of coral conservation.
珊瑚礁在调节海洋生物多样性方面发挥着重要作用,作为共生生物,它是高度动态和多样的微生物群落的热点地区。然而,石垣岛周围的珊瑚由于海水温度升高、富营养化等巨大压力而面临风险。然而,目前尚无关于石垣岛珊瑚礁生态系统中弧菌多样性如何因环境因素而在空间和时间上波动的信息。本研究的目的是阐明群落和种群水平上弧菌多样性的时空动态,并评估与弧菌丰度和多样性相关的环境驱动因素。基于从直接连接石垣岛珊瑚共生生物的海水中分离出的685株菌株的pyrH基因系统发育鉴定出的弧菌群落,由22种已知的和12种潜在的新弧菌科物种组成。最突出的物种是日向弧菌、欧文弧菌和哈维弧菌,其次是海生弧菌/可变弧菌、坎氏弧菌、溶珊瑚弧菌和罗森伯格发光杆菌。通过基于非加权组平均法(UniFrac)距离的主坐标分析(PCoA)和欧几里得距离聚类评估的弧菌群落波动,不仅在年份上变化较小,而且在地点上变化也较小。有趣的是,海水温度升高与坎氏弧菌丰度之间存在显著正相关(r = 0.62;P < 0.05),而欧文弧菌(r = -0.58;P < 0.05)和日向弧菌的C6组(r = -0.62;P < 0.05)则相反。基于AdaptML的微生境分化表明,哈维弧菌、坎氏弧菌、罗森伯格发光杆菌和溶珊瑚弧菌种群在生态上的差异较小,而星形弧菌和石垣岛弧菌在生态上则具有多样性。这些知识可能是未来珊瑚保护行动的重要线索。
