Bacterial Diversity in Sediments from Lianhuan Lake, Northeast China.

ABSTRACT: Lake microbiota play a crucial role in geochemical cycles, influencing both energy flow and material production. However, the distribution patterns of bacterial communities in lake sediments remain largely unclear. In this study, we used 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology to investigate the bacterial structure and diversity in sediments across different locations (six independent lakes) within Lianhuan Lake and analyzed their relationship with environmental factors. Our findings revealed that both the alpha and beta diversity of sediment bacterial communities varied significantly among the six independent lakes. Furthermore, changes between lakes had a significant impact on the relative abundance of bacterial phyla, such as Pseudomonadota and Chloroflexota. The relative abundan
