Antibiotics affected the bacterial community structure and diversity in pore water and sediments with cultivated Phragmites australis in a typical Chinese shallow lake.

ABSTRACT: The migration of antibiotics and bacterial communities between sediments and pore water occurring in the lake, which is affected by aquatic vegetation. However, the differences in bacterial community structure and biodiversity between pore water and sediments with plants in lakes under antibiotic stress are still poorly understood. We collected pore water and sediments in both wild and cultivated Phragmites australis regions in the Zaozhadian (ZZD) Lake to explore the characteristics of the bacterial community. Our results showed that the diversity of bacterial community in sediment samples were significantly higher than those in pore water samples in both P. australis regions. Due to higher antibiotic levels in sediments from the cultivated P. australis region, the co
