Polyamine-transforming Bacteria in Coastal, Offshore, and Open Ocean Environments Revealed by 16S rRNA Gene Pyrotag Sequencing
To identify PA-transforming bacterioplankton in other marine environments, surface water samples were collected nearshore, offshore, and shelf break in the South Atlantic Bight in October, 2011. Microcosms of bacterioplankton were incubated at in situ temperature with or without amendments putrescine or spermidine. Changes of bacterioplankton community structures in response to polyamine additions were tracked by 16S rRNA gene pyrotagsequening.
