How a bacterial community originating from a contaminated coastal sediment responds to an oil input.

Abstract

Bacterial communities inhabiting coastal sediments are subjected to oil spills. In order to examine the early structural response of a complex bacterial community to oil pollution, a kinetic study of the crude oil impact on bacterial communities inhabiting sediments from the contaminated Etang-de-Berre lagoon was performed. The sediments were maintained in slurries in presence or absence of crude oil and the kinetic study was carried out 14 days. During this period, 54% of crude oil was biodegraded showing the importance of the early degradation step. The metabolically active community (16S rRNA transcript analysis) was immediately impacted by the oil input, observed as an apparent decrease of species richness in the first hour of incubation. Nevertheless, this shift was quickly reversed, highlighting a fast, adaptative and efficient response of the metabolically active bacterial population. The high proportion of sequences related to hydrocarbonoclastic strains or petroleum-associated clones in active oiled community was consistent with significant increasing numbers of cultivable hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria at the end of the experiment. We concluded that "Etang-de-Berre" bacterial communities inhabiting oiled sediments for d...Continue Reading
