Zusammenfassung

The bacterial community composition in the A horizon of a natural saline-alkaline soil located in Ararat Plain (Armenia) was studied using molecular and culture-based methods The sequence analysis of a 16S rRNA gene clone library and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles indicated dominance of Firmicutes populations. The majority of the sequences of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene library were close relatives of representatives belonging to the genera Halobacillus (41.2%), Piscibacillus (23.5%), Bacillus (23.5%) and Virgibacillus (11.8%). Eight novel moderately halophilic bacilli isolates were successfully obtained from the enriched cultures of the saline-alkaline soil samples. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses of isolates revealed their affiliation (97.7-99.7% similarity) to representatives of the genera Bacillus, Piscibacillus and Halobacillus. All isolates were able to tolerate high concentrations of NaCl and highly alkaline conditions. This is the first study combining cultivation-independent and -dependent approaches to reveal the bacterial diversity of the saline-alkaline soils of Ararat Plain and it suggested an important role of bacilli as key microbes in biogeochemical cycles of these environments.
