Eutrophication influences diversity and community-level change points of mycoplankton in subtropical estuaries.

ABSTRACT: Mycoplankton are essential for biogeochemical cycles in natural water bodies. However, the distribution of the mycoplanktonic community and its community-level change points in subtropical estuaries remain unclear. In this study, we employed 18S rRNA high-throughput sequencing to explore the mycoplanktonic community structure and environmental thresholds in the Dafengjiang River Estuary. Agaricostilbomycetes and Saccharomycetes are the dominant classes in the Dafengjiang River Estuary. The alpha and beta diversities of the mycoplanktonic communities showed significant differences (p < 0.05) across the seasons. Distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA) suggested that the main driver of the total community was eutrophication level, and the key factors for oligotrophication, medium e
