- W2083087570 abstract "Recent studies have revealed that many marine invertebrates are closely associated with diverse microorganisms, frequently resulting in the production of compounds of biomedical interest. Thus far, ascidians have not been widely examined for the presence of bacterial associations, although the production of secondary metabolites is well documented. In the present study, we examined the gonad of Molgula manhattensis and the tunic surfaces of Botryllus schlosseri, Didemnum sp., and Botrylloides violaceus for the presence of associated bacteria. These ascidians are common inhabitants of the coastal ocean of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. We used denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) as well as cloning and sequencing of 16S rDNA to analyze the microbial communities. There is a strong evidence that spiroplasma-like bacteria colonize the gonad of the solitary ascidian M. manhattensis. The bacteria might be vertically transmitted and may be involved in the production of secondary metabolites that deter predators of the ascidians. The bacterial communities found on the tunic surfaces of the colonial ascidians were found to be more diverse. However, in all cases the bacterial communities were predominated by alpha-proteobacteria. Alpha-proteobacteria related to the obtained sequences have been identified as symbionts in a variety of hosts, suggesting a specific role for these bacteria. However, based on our data it is difficult to differentiate between persistently and only transiently associated bacteria. Overall, this study demonstrates that ascidian species are associated with diverse bacterial populations. Future studies will aim to elucidate the precise relationships between bacteria and ascidians and to identify bioactive compounds that might be produced as a result of these relationships." @default.
