Monthly Variation, Environmental Drivers, and Ecological Functions of Marine Bacterial Community in a Eutrophic Coastal Area of China.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the monthly variations of bacterial communities in the surface seawater of the Wenzhou coastal area and their influencing factors, while exploring the ecological functions of microbial communities. The results indicated that the surface seawater bacterial communities in this region exhibited high diversity, with significantly higher diversity observed in the winter half-year compared to the summer half-year. The bacterial community structures showed distinct monthly variations, with high similarity between adjacent months, particularly from June to September. The dominant bacterial taxa primarily included Proteobacteria represented by the SAR86 clade, OM43 clade, and Rhodobacteraceae; Bacteroidota represented by Flavobacteriaceae; and Cyanobacteria mai
