The Characteristics and Dynamics of Cyanobacteria-Heterotrophic Bacteria Between Two Estuarine Reservoirs - Tropical Versus Sub-Tropical Regions.

ABSTRACT: In this study, Illumina MiSeq sequencing technique was employed to explore the characteristics and dynamics of cyanobacteria-heterotrophic bacteria between two estuarine reservoirs in sub-tropical (reservoir A in Shanghai) and tropical (reservoir B in Singapore) regions. The results indicated that significant differences in bacterial community composition were found between two estuarine reservoirs, which influenced by varied environmental variables. The environmental heterogeneity in reservoir A was much higher, which indicated that the composition of bacterial community in reservoir A was more complex. In contrast, reservoir B provided a suitable and temperate water environment conditions for bacterial growth, which resulted in higher community diversity and less co-exclusion correlation
