Influences of Community Coalescence on the Assembly of Bacterial Communities of the Small-Scale Complex Aquatic System from the Perspective of Bacterial Transmission, Core Taxa, and Co-occurrence Patterns.

ABSTRACT: Recirculating aquaculture and aquaponics are considered sustainable aquaculture models playing important roles in animal-derived protein supply. In these aquaculture systems, microorganisms are crucial for the system stability. The community coalescence by mixing substances and microorganisms from various microhabitats under hydraulic forces is important for shaping the bacterial communities in these small-scale complex systems. However, the influences of community coalescence on bacterial communities remain rarely revealed in these systems. In this study, aquaponics (APS) and recirculating aquaculture (RAS) systems were set up to explore the bacterial community coalescence across different microhabitats, including water, fish feces, biofilter biofilms, and plant rhizosphere environment.
