- Carbon-fixing bacteria and sediment organic carbon response to the introduction of mangrove plant Sonneratia caseolaris. Huang, Xiaofang Dong, Junde Wang, Youshao Liu, Hongbin Zhou, Weiguo Cheng, Hao Yang, Xi Liang, Tongyin Yang, Bing Ling, Juan The fast-growing Sonneratia caseolaris has been widely used in restoration efforts to accelerate the recovery of degraded mangrove ecosystems. Carbon-fixing bacteria (CFB) are recognized as major microbial contributors to sediment carbon accumulation in the mangrove wetlands. However, the response of the CFB community and sediment organic carbon (SOC) to introduced S. caseolaris is still unknown. In this study, the sediment properties (especially SOC), the abundances of carbon-fixing genes (cbbL and cbbM), as well as the CFB community composition based on cbbL and cbbM functional genes and their interaction network, were compared between the introduced mangrove species (S. caseolaris) and native species (Kandelia obovata, Aegiceras corniculatum, and Acanthus ilicifolius) in the Niutianyang Mangrove Forest, Shantou, China. Our results showed that S. caseolaris markedly enhanced the SOC content and the abundances of the carbon-fixing genes (P These findings confirmed that introduced S. caseolaris can strongly affect the CFB communities and the SOC content, and provided new insights into the microbial carbon sequestration in the mangrove wetlands.
