Responses of Intertidal Bacterial Biofilm Communities to Increasing pCO2

Abstract: The effects of ocean acidification on ecosystems remain poorly understood, because it is difficult to simulate the effects of elevated CO2 levels on entire marine communities in controlled laboratory conditions. Natural systems such as CO2 seeps that are enriched in CO2 are being used to help understand the long-term effects of ocean acidification in situ. Here, we compared biofilm bacterial community composition on cobbles/boulders and bedrock along a CO2 gradient in the NW Pacific. Samples sequenced for 16S … Show more

“…Firsts, removal of sections of natural, existing rocks from the environment with different exposure time (De la Iglesia et al 2012, Taylor et al 2014, Tan et al 2015, Kerfahi et al 2020, or the installation of artificial surfaces such as plexiglass, polystyrene, or glass slides (Zhang et al 2013, Sanli et al 2015. The first approach is useful for examining the composition of microbial communities but makes it difficult to make sensible comparisons across gradients because the successional time is unknown.…”

“…To investigate our core question of how ocean acidification influences early community succession of algal communities, experiments using recruitment tiles were carried out using an acidified area of the Shikine Island CO 2 seep, Japan (34°19′9ʺN, 139°12′18ʺE), and a nearby reference p CO 2 area in an adjacent bay (~600 m away by the shortest route). Both the reference and acidified locations (hereafter ‘350 μatm’ and ‘900 μatm’, respectively) have had their carbonate chemistry and biology well characterized previously (Agostini et al, 2015, 2018; Cattano et al, 2020; Harvey et al, 2018, 2019; Kerfahi et al, 2020; Witkowski et al, 2019), and we present 2 months of additional original pH T (Figure S1) and temperature data collected at the ‘900 μatm’ location with a Durafet sensor (SeaFET, Sea‐Bird Scientific) using the same approach as Agostini et al (2018). Salinity was measured concurrently using Hobo conductivity loggers (U24‐002‐C), and discrete samples for total alkalinity were collected throughout the study period, with total alkalinity measured using an auto‐titrator (916 Ti‐Touch, Metrohm).…”

“…So far, there have been several studies investigating how OA affects coastal benthic biofilms and these have concluded that OA can alter the biomass and community composition (Kerfahi et al, 2014;Taylor et al, 2014;Kerfahi et al, 2020). However, there are some important gaps in the current understanding.…”

“…However, there are some important gaps in the current understanding. Firstly, most previous studies, solely or independently, investigated the effects of OA on microalgae or bacteria in intertidal benthic biofilms, but failed to consider the impacts of OA at a community-level (Cartaxana et al, 2015;Kerfahi et al, 2020). Thus, to get a better understanding of the implications of OA on benthic biofilms, it is recommended that the effects of OA on microalgae, bacteria and viruses in benthic biofilms are studied simultaneously.…”
