RESUMO

The mangroves are essistemas important and productive, found along the coastline of tropical and subtropical regions. Important processes such as nutrient cycling, are directly connected to the activity of soil microbial communities. Given its strategic position the mangroves are very impacted the world. In Brazil, important areas such as the Bay of All Saints (BA) are severely affected by the presence of oil. Understanding the adaptation of the microbiota and its local dynamics, before the environmental change is essential to be able to maintain or restore these ecosystems. This thesis investigated the structure and function of microbial communities in a mangrove area of the Bay of All Saints polluted by the oil industry. Two sites were sampled - one located in the refinement of the industry and another, distant location and used as the control. Besides the measured abiotic data, two independent methods of cultivation were used: T-RFLP and DNA microarranjos. The results of both sites in the experiments of T-RFLP showed that the two bacterial communities differ in their structure. For the site sampled in the refinery, a greater number of Otus suggests an environmental stimulus, the bacterial community, a fact associÃvel the high organic matter content of the site. For microarranjos DNA, similar categories of genes were detected in both places, but the specificity of their sequences were distinct. The genes that encode for the remediation organic, were more representative, more than 40% in total in the two sites. Even detecting similar categories, only 4% of the gene sequences were common to the sites. These data show that different bodies are responsible for similar functions at each point. The difference between the sites observed in the experiments can be related with the fact that Site 1 is located in a region heavily affected by oil. Using the ecological data rates of T-RFLP indicated the site 1 as the most diverse, while the results with the DNA microarranjos show the opposite. In conclusion, the structure and function of the local microbiota are affected by the presence of the oil industry. Additional studies may help understand the dynamics of microbial communities, facing the future exposure to the oil and / or derivatives.
