Deciphering microeukaryotic-bacterial co-occurrence networks in coastal aquaculture ponds.

ABSTRACT: Microeukaryotes and bacteria are key drivers of primary productivity and nutrient cycling in aquaculture ecosystems. Although their diversity and composition have been widely investigated in aquaculture systems, the co-occurrence bipartite network between microeukaryotes and bacteria remains poorly understood. This study used the bipartite network analysis of high-throughput sequencing datasets to detect the co-occurrence relationships between microeukaryotes and bacteria in water and sediment from coastal aquaculture ponds. Chlorophyta and fungi were dominant phyla in the microeukaryotic-bacterial bipartite networks in water and sediment, respectively. Chlorophyta also had overrepresented links with bacteria in water. Most microeukaryotes and bacteria were classified as generalists, and t
