| الوصف: | Abstract The analysis of sediment DNA has emerged as a promising alternative to classical paleolimnological proxies, which typically rely on hard fossils to reconstruct environmental change. In recent studies, the timing and causes of apparent increases in toxic cyanobacterial blooms in lakes around the world have been identified by high‐throughput sequencing of cyanobacterial 16S rRNA genes from decadal‐ and centennial‐scale sediment records. However, the reconstruction of ecological time series can be influenced by DNA degradation processes interfering with taxonomic resolution and quantification of target genes. To determine whether some cyanobacterial taxa degrade more rapidly than others, a one‐year incubation experiment was performed to estimate degradation rates in sediments under contrasting environmental conditions of temperature (4°C vs. 25°C) and sediment redox (oxic vs. anoxic). Using sediments collected from an oligotrophic lake, serum bottles were inoculated with either Microcystis aeruginosa, Synechococcus sp., or Trichormus variabilis. These cyanobacteria were chosen because they are widespread yet exhibit contrasting morphologies. The absolute concentrations of the target genes were measured over time through droplet digital PCR. The three taxa exhibited log‐linear declines with different rates of decay. Based on first‐order linear decay models, Microcystis exhibited faster decay under oxic conditions, whereas Synechococcus sp. and Trichormus were both temperature and anoxic dependent. Overall, cyanobacterial decay rates were lowest under 4°C anoxic conditions, corresponding to conditions in deep temperate lakes. Under 4°C, Synechococcus exhibited the lowest degradation rates followed by Trichormus, then Microcystis. These findings will be useful in the interpretation of population and community structure data based on sediment DNA and advances our current understanding of cyanobacterial preservation in sediment. |
