What happens with reduction or removal of invertebrate grazers?
protistan predators?and bacteria?
Viruses remaineasy in the labimpossible in surficial aquatic ecosystemsit can happen in groundwater
Simple question

Groundwater Importance
• 97% of the world’s unfrozen freshwater reserves (Gibert & Deharveng 2002)
• 2 billion people rely on freshwater reserves for potable drinking water + industrial and agricultural production (Kemper 2004)
• Important in Australia -> drought events (Mpelasoka et al., 2008)
![Page 4: Venerable Viromes In Cryptic, Isolated and Enduring Ecosystems - Jim Mitchell](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5564859bd8b42a8c5e8b565c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Biological Importance
• Shifts in the structure of microbial assemblages related to human impact (Dinsdale et al., 2008a)
• The effect of human modification of groundwater ecosystems is poorly known (NOT GDEs)
• Today’s proposal Some groundwater records ecosystem information
for up to 106 yrs via viruses

Microbial Importance
• Subsurface microbial communities represent the greatest reservoir of micro-organisms (Whitman et al., 1998)
• Terrestrial Subsurface – 1030
• Form the base of the subterranean food web (Sherr & Sherr 1991)
• Primary purifiers of groundwater (Danielopol et al., 2003)

Groundwater structure
![Page 7: Venerable Viromes In Cryptic, Isolated and Enduring Ecosystems - Jim Mitchell](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5564859bd8b42a8c5e8b565c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Confined Aquifers
• Confined aquifers are protected from external input by aquitards (Nolan et al., 1997)
Inhibits contamination
• Vertical fractures -> preferential pathways for the introduction of surface contaminants including microbial pathogens
• Enteric viruses have the great potential for spread into deep aquifers (Eaton et al., 2007)
27 – 75 nm
![Page 8: Venerable Viromes In Cryptic, Isolated and Enduring Ecosystems - Jim Mitchell](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5564859bd8b42a8c5e8b565c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Broad Aim
• Determine microbial community structure in groundwater

Site• Ashbourne

Site
• Under a dairy farming region• Two aquifer flow systems – separate water
sources (Banks et al., 2007)
• Unconfined aquifer
• exposed to external input
• Confined aquifer
• approx. 1500 years old => baseline

Viral communities in confined aquifer
![Page 12: Venerable Viromes In Cryptic, Isolated and Enduring Ecosystems - Jim Mitchell](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5564859bd8b42a8c5e8b565c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Viral Risks
• Viral pathogens compromising freshwater reserves globally (Abbaszadegan et al., 2003)
• Longer infectious periods (Yates et al., 1985; Diels, 2005)
• Low light• Low temperatures
• Potential spread of pathogenic viruses in groundwater
![Page 13: Venerable Viromes In Cryptic, Isolated and Enduring Ecosystems - Jim Mitchell](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5564859bd8b42a8c5e8b565c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

MEGAN
• Viral metagenome
• Despite geographical proximity, confined aquifer more similar to reclaimed water• Viruses introduced prior to underlying proximity ->
long term survival of viruses in groundwater

Summary: ssDNA Viruses
• Small size• Greatest potential for transport
• High substitution rate • High pathogenicity• Inherent stability
• 1500 year old groundwater• Long term survival and spread of pathogenic viruses in
groundwater ecosystem
![Page 28: Venerable Viromes In Cryptic, Isolated and Enduring Ecosystems - Jim Mitchell](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5564859bd8b42a8c5e8b565c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Conclusions
• Confined aquifers have unique circoviruses• Unknown endogenous source or
• Temporally and spatially distant large animal sources
