Credit Uthicke, Sven, Dr (Principal Investigator) Bacterial communities in eight 16S rDNA clone libraries from calcareous sediments were investigated to assess bacterial diversity in sediments of the Great Barrier Reef and to investigate differences due to decreased water quality. Samples were taken from 2 locations (fore and back reefs) on each of 4 coral reefs: nearshore (Fitzroy and High Islands, subject to enhanced runoff) on the outer shelf (Hastings and Flynn Reefs, pristine conditions).Out of 221 non-chimeric sequences, 189 (85.5%) were unique and only one sequence occurred in more than one library. Cluster analyses and comparison to published sequences indicated that sequences retrieved belonged to the alpha, gamma and delta subdivisions of the Proteobacteria; Cytophaga, Flavobacteria, Bacteroidetes (CFB) group; Cyanobacteria; Planctomycetaceae; Verrucomicrobiaceae; and Acidobacteriaceae.Carbon (organic carbon, total carbon) and nitrogen in the sediments were analysed from two additional samples from each location.
