Pearl Oyster Bacterial Community Structure Is Governed by Location and Tissue-Type, but Vibrio Species Are Shared Among Oyster Tissues
Diseases of bivalves of aquacultural importance, including the valuable Australian silver-lipped pearl oyster ( Pinctada maxima ), have been increasing in frequency and severity. The bivalve microbiome is linked to health and disease dynamics, particularly in oysters, with putative pathogens within...

Diseases of bivalves of aquacultural importance, including the valuable Australian silver-lipped pearl oyster ( Pinctada maxima ), have been increasing in frequency and severity. The bivalve microbiome is linked to health and disease dynamics, particularly in oysters, with putative pathogens within the Vibrio genus commonly implicated in oyster diseases. Previous studies have been biased toward the Pacific oyster because of its global dominance in oyster aquaculture, while much less is known about the microbiome of P. maxima . We sought to address this knowledge gap by characterizing the P. maxima bacterial community, and we hypothesized that bacterial community composition, and specifically the occurrence of Vibrio , will vary according to the sampled microenvironment. We also predicted that the inside shell swab bacterial composition could represent a source of microbial spillover biofilm into the solid pearl oyster tissues, thus providing a useful predictive sampling environment. We found that there was significant heterogeneity in bacterial composition between different pearl oyster tissues, which is consistent with patterns reported in other bivalve species and supports the hypothesis that each tissue type represents a unique microenvironment for bacterial colonization. We suggest that, based on the strong effect of tissue-type on the pearl oyster bacterial community, future studies should apply caution when attempting to compare microbial patterns from different locations, and when searching for disease agents.
