摘要:

Anthropogenic activities usually contaminate water environments, and have led to the eutrophication of many estuaries and shifts in microbial communities. In this study, the temporal and spatial changes of the microbial community in an industrial effluent receiving area in Hangzhou Bay were investigated by 454 pyrosequencing. The bacterial community showed higher richness and biodiversity than the archaeal community in all sediments. Proteobacteria dominated in the bacterial communities of all the samples; Marine_Group_I and Methanomicrobia were the two dominant archaeal classes in the effluent receiving area. PCoA and ANOVA revealed strong seasonal but minor spatial changes in both bacterial and archaeal communities in the sediments. The seasonal changes of the bacterial community were less significant than those of the archaeal community, which mainly consisted of fluctuations in
abundance of a large proportion of longstanding species rather than the appearance and disappearance ofmajor archaeal species. Temperaturewas found to positively correlatewith the dominant bacteria, Betaproteobacteria, and negatively correlate with the dominant archaea,
Marine_Group_I; and might be the primary driving force for the seasonal variation of the microbial community.
