STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF THE INCIDENT UV RADIATION ON ISOLATED STRAINS AND ANTARCTIC BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

ENGLISH Since the crucial role having by the microorganisms in the nutrient cycling of the coastal marine ecosystem in Antarctica, the aim of this project is to analyze the effect of the incident UV radiation (enhanced by the stratospheric ozone layer) on the Antarctic marine bacterial flora.

Description

Response of isolated strains and natural communities obtained from different water column levels will be analyzed in Potter Cove, Antarctica.

In this instance of the study we will use interferential filters in order to fractionate the previously studied UV-A and UV-B fractions in more narrows bands. In addition, the role of the water column as a natural factor of solar radiation attenuation will be analyzed using fixed and dynamics systems that permit us a better simulation of the vertical mixing regime. Bacterial viability, DNA damage and induction of oxidative stress-related enzymes will be evaluated.

Field experiments will be complemented and compared with laboratory irradiation assays under controlled conditions. Due to that the standards methods of bacterial taxonomy are inadequate for environmental strains, we will use 16S rDNA sequencing to classify the isolates. Changes in the structure of bacterial communities will be inferred using RFLP techniques and, if it is possible, by DGGE and SSCP SPANISH Dado el papel fundamental que los microorganismos cumplen en el ciclo de los nutrientes del ecosistema marino costero antartico, este proyecto tiene por objetivo analizar el efecto que la radiacion UV incidente en Antartida (incrementada por el agujero de ozono estratosferico) tiene sobre la flora bacteriana marina.

Se analizara la respuesta de cepas aisladas y comunidades naturales de distintas profundidades a diferentes regimenes de radiacion UV, en Caleta Potter, Antartida. En esta etapa se utilizaran filtros interferenciales que permitan desdoblar, las ya estudiadas fracciones UV-A y UV-B en bandas menores. Adicionalmente se estudiara el efecto de la columna de agua como filtro natural de la radiacion, utilizando sistemas estaticos y sistemas dinamicos que reflejen mejor el regimen de mezcla vertical natural.

Se evaluara la viabilidad, el dano al ADN y la induccion de enzimas de estres oxidativo. Los ensayos a campo se complementaran y compararan con ensayos de irradiacion en laboratorio. Dado que los metodos convencionales de clasificacion bacteriana son poco satisfactorios con cepas ambientales, se utilizara la secuenciacion de ADNr 16S para tal fin.

Ademas, los cambios en la estructura de las comunidades bacterianas se inferiran mediante tecnicas de RFLP y, en lo posible mediante DGGE o SSCP.
