Bacterial and Microeukaryotic Community Compositions and Their Assembly Processes in Lakes on the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial and microeukaryotic community compositions and their assembly processes have remained challenging and remained unclear in lake ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). We revealed the diversity and community compositions, driving factors, ecological assembly processes, and co-occurrence networks of bacterial and microeukaryotic communities in water bodies of the eight lake ecosystems across the Eastern QTP. The results demonstrated that the predominant bacteria in most samples were Proteobacteria, with an average relative abundance of 41.78%, whereas the most abundant of microeukaryotes differed among the sample sites. The redundancy analysis revealed that latitude and pH were the most important driving factors in shaping the bacterial and microeukaryotic community composit
