Distribution and activity of the anaerobic methanotrophic community in a nitrogen-fertilized Italian paddy soil.
FEMS Microbiology Ecology 2016 August 25
In order to mitigate methane emissions from paddy fields, it is important to understand the sources and sinks. Most paddy fields are heavily fertilized with nitrite and nitrate which can be used as electron acceptors by anaerobic methanotrophs. Here we show that slurry incubations of Italian paddy field soil with nitrate and (13)C-labelled methane have the potential for nitrate-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane (79.9. nmol g(-1) dw d(-1)). Community analysis based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and qPCR of the water-logged soil and the rhizosphere showed that AOM-associated archaea (AAA), including Methanoperedens nitroreducens, comprised 9% (bulk soil) and 1% (rhizosphere) of all archaeal reads. The NC10 phylum bacteria made up less than 1% of all bacterial sequences. The phylogenetic analysis was complemented by qPCR showing that AAA ranged from 0.28 to 3.9×10(6) 16S rRNA gene copies g(-1) dw in bulk soil and 0.27 to 2.8×10(6) in the rhizosphere. The abundance of NC10 phylum bacteria was an order of magnitude lower. Revisiting published diversity studies, we found that AAA have been detected, but not linked to methane oxidation in several paddy fields. Our data suggests an important role of AAA in methane cycling in paddy fields.
