The core microbiome of cultured Pacific oyster spat is affected by age but not mortality
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
ABSTRACT The Pacific oyster is the most widely cultured shellfish worldwide, but production has been affected by mortality events, including in hatcheries that supply the seed for growers. Several pathogens cause disease in oysters, but in many cases, mortality events cannot be attributed to a single agent and appear to be multifactorial, involving environmental variables and microbial interactions. As an organism’s microbiome can provide resilience against pathogens and environmental stressors, we investigated the microbiomes in cohorts of freshly settled oyster spat, some of which experienced notable mortality. Deep sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments did not show a significant difference among the microbiomes of cohorts experiencing different mortality levels, but revealed a characteristic core microbiome comprising 74 taxa. Irrespective of mortality, the relative abundance of taxa in the core microbiomes changed significantly as the spat aged, yet remained distinct from the microbial community in the surrounding water. The core microbiome was dominated by bacteria in the families Rhodobacteraceae , Nitrosomonadaceae , Flavobacteriaceae, Pirellulaeceae, and Saprospiraceae . Within these families, 14 taxa designated as the “Hard-Core Microbiome” were indicative of changes in the core microbiome as the spat aged. The variability in diversity and richness of the core taxa decreased with age, implying niche occupation. As well, there was exchange of microbes with surrounding water during development of the core microbiome. The shift in the core microbiome demonstrates the dynamic nature of the microbiome as oyster spat age. IMPORTANCE The Pacific oyster ( Magallana gigas , also known as Crassostrea gigas ) is the most widely cultivated shellfish and is important to the economy of many coastal communities. However, high mortality of spat during the first few days following metamorphosis can affect the seed supply to oyster growers. Here, we show that the microbiome composition of recently settled oyster spat experiencing low or high mortality was not significantly different. Instead, development of the core microbiome was associated with spat aging and was partially driven by dispersal through the water. These findings imply the importance of early-stage rearing conditions for spat microbiome development in aquaculture facilities. Furthermore, shellfish growers could gain information about the developmental state of the oyster spat microbiome by assessing key taxa. Additionally, the study provides a baseline microbiome for future hypothesis testing and potential probiotic applications on developing spat.
