Similar but different assembly processes of bacterial and micro-eukaryotic communities in an urban river.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria and micro-eukaryotes play important roles in river ecological systems. The processes that govern bacterial and micro-eukaryotic communities in urban rivers are still uncertain. The spatiotemporal characteristics and assembly processes of bacterial and micro-eukaryotic communities in the Xiangjianghe River were explored using 16 S and 18 S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing in the present study. The results indicate that the bacterial and micro-eukaryotic community composition exhibited distinct temporal and spatial variation. The topological characteristics of co-occurrence networks demonstrate that the bacterial and micro-eukaryotic community coexistence patterns vary significantly between the four seasons. Water temperature (WT) and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) were detected a
