Temperature alters bacterial community structure in sediment of mountain stream.

ABSTRACT: Temperature and nutrients are known as crucial drivers for the variations of bacterial community structure and functions in oceans and lakes. However, their significance and mechanisms in influencing the bacterial community structure and function in mountain stream remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal patterns of the bacterial communities and the main environmental factors in the Taizicheng River, a high-latitude mountainous stream, to reveal the main driving factors for sedimental bacterial communities. Our findings identified that the phyla Acidobacteriota and Bacteroidota served as the strong discriminant for sedimental bacterial community in the non-freezing and freezing periods, respectively. In contrast, no significant difference was detected in bacterial
