A shotgun approach to explore the bacterial diversity and a brief insight into the glycoside hydrolases of Samiti lake located in the Eastern Himalayas

Background

The Himalayas have always been an enigma and, being biodiversity hotspots, are considered extremely important from an ecological point of view. Recent advances in studies regarding high-altitude lakes have garnered relevant importance as these habitats could harbor potential psychrophilic and psychrotrophic microbes with bio-prospective applications. Contemplating the above scenario, the present study has been undertaken to understand the diversity and the functional capacities of the microbes thriving in this lake.

Results

In our present study on Samiti Lake, the abundance of Proteobacteria as the major phylum was seen in both the soil and water samples. Incase of the ABSLW (water) and ABS1 (soil) sample, 148,066 and 239,754 predicted genes, were taken for functional analysis. The KEGG analysis showed that ABSLW and ABS1 had 122,911 and 160,268, genes assigned to KO terms respectively. Whereas in case of COG functional analysis, 104,334 and 130,191 genes were assigned to different COG classes for ABSLW and ABS1 respectively. Further, on studying the glycoside hydrolases, an abundance of GH13, GH2, GH3, GH43, and GH23 in both the soil and water samples were seen.

Conclusion

Our study has provided a comprehensive report about the bacterial diversity and functional capacities of microbes thriving in Samiti Lake. It has also thrown some light on the occurrence of glycoside hydrolases in this region, as they have numerous biotechnological applications in different sectors.
