摘要

The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica support extensive yet cryptic microbial communities but little evidence for 'top-down' herbivory control. A question therefore arises as to how standing microbial biomass is regulated. Here, we present results from a survey of soil and rock microbial community metagenomes using the GeoChip microarray that demonstrate antibiotic resistance and phage infection are widespread. We interrogated a range of dry valley locations from maritime to extreme inland sites. Antibiotic resistance genes were identified in three categories: beta-lactamases, tetracycline and vanomycin plus a range of transporter genes. Frequency of recovery generally reflected microbial diversity, with greatest abundance among Halobacteria, Proteobacteria and the photosynthetic bacteria (Chlorobi, Chloroflexi and Cyanobacteria). However, no clear differences between locations and soil/rock communities were apparent. Phage signals were also recovered from all locations in soil and rock communities. The Leviviridae, Myoviridae, Podoviridae and Siphoviridae were ubiquitous . The Corticoviridae occurred only in moisture-sufficient hyporheic soils, the Microviridae occurred only in maritime and hyporheic sites and an unidentified group within the order Caudovirales occurred only at dry inland sites. We postulate that widespread antibiotic resistance indicates potential inter-specific interaction and that phage signals indicate possible 'bottom-up' trophic regulation in the dry valleys.
