ABSTRACT Although anoxygenic photosynthesis is thought to play an important role in the primary productivity of permanently frozen lakes in the Antarctic dry valleys, the bacterial communities responsible for this metabolism remain uncharacterized. Here we report the composition and activity of phototrophic purple bacteria in Lake Fryxell, Antarctica, as determined by analysis of a photosynthesis-specific gene, pufM. The results revealed an extensive diversity and highly stratified distribution of purple nonsulfur bacteria in Lake Fryxell and showed which phylotypes produced pufM transcripts in situ. Enrichment cultures for purple bacteria yielded two morphotypes, each with a pufM signature identical to signatures detected by environmental screening. The isolates also contained gas vesicles, buoyancy structures previously unknown in purple nonsulfur bacteria, that may be necessary for these organisms to position themselves at specific depths within the nearly freezing water column.

The Antarctic Taylor Valley Lakes Fryxell and Bonney harbor oligotrophic microbial communities that are separated geographically from other aquatic systems. Their microbiomes include planktonic as well as lift-off mat communities that float to the underside of the perennial ice cover and eventually emerge at the surface. We investigated the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from metagenomes of lift-off mats emerging from ice, from filtered water samples of Lake Fryxell, and from filtered water samples of Lake Bonney. ARG sequence markers were designed by ShortBRED-Identify using the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD). The overall proportion of ARG hits in the metagenomes was found to be similar to that found in temperate-zone rural water bodies with moderate human inputs (0.0002-0.0007%). The specific ARGs found showed distinct distributions for the two lakes, and for mat versus planktonic sources. An enrichment culture of Rhodoferax antarcticus from a Lake Fryxell mat sample showed a mat-forming phenotype not previously reported for this species. Its genome showed no ARGs associated with Betaproteobacteria, but had ARGs consistent with a Pseudomonas minor component. The Antarctic lake mats and water showed specific ARGs distinctive to the mat and water sources, but overall ARG levels were similar to those of temperate water bodies.

The soil fertility aspect is characterized by the good biological properties of the soil. One important element of the soil biological properties is the bacterial population present in it. This research was conducted in the laboratory of Microbiology University of Malikussaleh in the May until June 2016. This study aims to determine the number of bacterial populations in soil organic and inorganic so that can be used as an indicator to know the level of soil fertility. Data analysis was done by T-Test that is by comparing the mean of observation parameter to each soil sample. The sampling method used is a composite method, which combines 9 of soil samples taken from 9 sample points on the same plot diagonally both on organic soil and inorganic soil. The results showed the highest bacterial population was found in total organic soil cfu 180500000 and total inorganic soil cfu 62.500.000
