土壤微生物在森林生態系的生物社會中扮演著重要的的角色,多數的微生物皆與自然環境的的養分循環息息相關。雖然絕大部分的微生物分類皆已被定義,但多數自然環境中的微生物仍屬未知。主要原因在於環境中的微生物物種僅有少數可利用現今的的培養方法加以培養與純化。在本研究中,利用16S rDNA選殖技術、變性梯度凝膠電泳(DGGE)與末端螢光標定限制片段多型性分析法(T-RFLP)等多種分子生物技術,建立南仁山當地土壤與落葉微生物社會結構資料庫與分子指紋。
本研究利用細菌廣泛性的引子擴增南仁山土壤中微生物之16S rDNA片段,以建立南仁山落葉袋底層土壤與黃杞落葉分解微生物的分子資料庫,並討論其親緣關係。結果顯示,南仁山落葉袋底層土壤以屬於Acidobacteria相關的菌群為優勢,佔總菌群的62.8%。而菌群之16S DNA親緣關係顯示,皆與嗜酸性的菌群相關。
在落葉分解的菌群中,有51.4%的菌群屬於Gammaproteobacteria,顯然落葉分解與落葉袋底層土壤的菌群有不同的微生物結構。屬於Gammaproteobacteria的菌群,其16S rDNA親緣關係顯示,菌群中微生物多為固氮作用相關菌群。將所建立之落葉袋底層土壤與落葉分解菌群之資料庫作為分子標誌,用以監測落葉分解與落葉袋土壤底層土壤之分子指紋圖譜的季節性變化。denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)指紋圖譜顯示,無論迎風區與背風區之落葉袋底層與其四周土壤中之微生物社會結構,均產生季節性變化,可能與東北季風有關。黃杞落葉分解DGGE指紋圖譜的變化較不顯著,但優勢菌群依然以Gammaproteobacteria為主。
本研究亦以terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP)的指紋圖譜監測南仁山土壤與落葉微生物社會。先行以落葉袋下土壤以及黃杞落葉樣本所建立之16S rDNA基因資料庫進行電腦限制切點模擬分析,再實際以限制酵素HhaI進行實驗。結果顯示,落葉袋底層土壤微生物社會中之菌群共可區別為八群的terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs),同時亦顯示優勢的菌群為Acidobacteria,在樣本中約佔15.7%。而黃杞落葉樣本之微生物社會中之菌群可區分為五群的T-RFs,優勢菌群為Betaproteobacteria,在樣本中約佔38%。本研究亦分析南仁山土壤微生物以及黃杞落葉上的微生物社會之變化,並以培養方法分離纖維素分解菌,探討分離菌株之16S rDNA的親緣關係,在本文中均有詳加討論。
Soil bacteria are essential components of the biotic community in natural forests and they are largely responsible for ecosystem function, and participate in the elements circulation. Although the main diversity of life has been proven to be microbial, the vast majority of soil bacteria still remain unknown for less than 1% of environmental microorganisms can be cultured. In this study, cloning method, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) techniques were used to compare the prevalent microbial populations in soil and on litterfall of Nan-Jen Shan samples.
Phylogenetic analysis based on PCR-amplified 16S rDNA revealed an effective tool to establish the microbiota development in soil and litterfall. The results from clone library showed that Acidobacteria were the dominants in soil samples (62.8%) and Gammaproteobacteria were the dominants in litterfall samples (51.4%). DGGE patterns also revealed that the microbial community of soil and litterfall were not the same. Seasonal changes in the structure of microbial community were significant in DGGE analysis. However, the DGGE patterns of dominant bacteria did not change in DGGE analysis no matter in soil and litterfall samples.
Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis is also used in this study for rapid comparison of the complex bacterial communities. By T-RFLP analysis of soil and litterfall samples, we got eight groups Terminal-restriction fragments (T-RFs) in soil samples and five groups T-RFs in litterfall samples. T-RFLP analysis also revealed that Acidobacteria were the dominant bacteria in soil and were not affected by season. However, the results of T-RFLP showed that Betaproteobacteria are the dominant in litterfall. Otherwise, the dominant bacteria were changing with season on litterfall.
Cultivation-approached method was also applied in isolation of cellulose degrading bacteria. Five strains were isolated from soil samples, all of them can use α-cellulose as carbon source. It showed that the soil bacteria in Nan-Jen Shan might play an important role in litter decomposition mechanism.
