摘要

During ovipositioning, avian eggshells become susceptible to bacterial and fungal growth and studies haveshown that a community of these microorganisms, or microflora, is maintained on eggshells throughout the incubationprocess. To determine the possible role of these microorganisms on embryonic development, it is first important to understandthe composition of the microbial community present on the surface of the egg. A limited amount of studies havebeen published in this area; thus, the objective of this study was to broaden this area of study and determine what bacterialcommunities are found on the surface of naturally-incubated House Wren eggs across three stages of incubation (pre,early, and late) as defined by egg temperature. Our data uniquely suggest that the eggshell microflora is dynamic and thatthis may be regulated by temperature fluctuations due to intermittent incubation behavior. Using culture-based techniques,46 different bacterial species were identified belonging to 13 bacterial families and 20 genera. The majority of bacteria belongedto the Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Stenotrophomonas, or Burkholderia genera and have been previously associatedwith avian eggs and nests. Bacteria within the Pseudomonas genus were the most predominant and we hypothesizethat their maintenance may be linked to their ability to produce antibiotic substances called bacteriocins. The bacterialcomposition of the microflora isolated in this study also suggests that avian egg microfloras are derived from environmentalorigins.
