Abundance trade-offs and dominant taxa maintain the stability of the bacterioplankton community underlying Microcystis blooms.

ABSTRACT: Microcystis blooms are an intractable global environmental problem that pollute water and compromise ecosystem functioning. Closed-lake management practices keep lakes free of sewage and harmful algae invasions and have succeeded in controlling local Microcystis blooms; however, there is little understanding of how the bacterioplankton communities associated with Microcystis have changed. Here, based on metagenomic sequencing, the phyla, genera, functional genes and metabolic functions of the bacterioplankton communities were compared between open lakes (underlying Microcystis blooms) and closed lakes (no Microcystis blooms). Water properties and zooplankton density were investigated and measured as factors influencing blooms. The results showed that (1)
