Title: Comparison of Bacterial Diversity in the Water Columns of Goseong Deep Seawaters
Abstract: 강원도 고성군 근해에서 수심 300 m와 500 m의 심층수에 서식하는 해양미생물 분포를 조사하였다. 심해미생물을 16S rRNA genes pyrosequencing 방법으로 분석한 결과 300 m 심층수 시료에서 얻은 19,474 reads에서 Alphaproteobacteria와 Gammaproteobacteria가 각각 57.41%와 38.85%의 분포 비율을 보였다. 심해 500 m의 시료에서 얻은 82,806 reads에서는 Gammaproteobacteria가 99.64%로 대부분을 차지하였다. 수심 300 m에서는 Rhodobacterales (57.31%)가 우점하였고, 수심 500 m에서는 Alteromonadales (45.65%)와 Oceanospirillales (34.61%)가 우점하였다. Operational Taxonomic Units와 diversity indexes (Shannon과 Simpson)를 기준으로 할 때 해양미생물의 다양성은 수심 500 m지역이 수심 300 m지역보다 더 높게 나타났다. Microbial diversities in the 300 m and 500 m deep seawaters near Goseong, Gangwon Province (South Korea), were investigated. Pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes of marine microbes resulted in 19,474 reads from the 300 m deep seawaters, which consisted of Alphaproteobacteria (57.41%) and Gammaproteobacteria (38.85%), and 82,806 reads from the 500 m deep seawaters, which consisted of Gammaproteobacteria (99.64%) mostly. Rhodobacterales (57.31%) were dominant in the 300 m deep seawaters, but Alteromonadales (45.65%) and Oceanospirillales (34.61%) were dominant in the 500 m deep seawaters. On the bases of operational taxonomic units and diversity indexes (Shannon and Simpson), biodiversity of marine bacteria in the 500 m deep seawaters was shown to be higher than that in the 300 m deep seawaters.
