Composition and Functional Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Bacterioplankton Community in the Huangshui River, China.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial community plays a key role in environmental and ecological processes of river ecosystems. Given the special climatic and geographical conditions, studying the compositional characteristics of microorganisms in highland rivers and the relationship between such microorganisms and water physicochemical factors is important for an in-depth understanding of microbial ecological mechanisms. In the present study, high-throughput sequencing was used to investigate and study the bacterioplankton community of the Huangshui River in the ecotone zone of the Qinghai Plateau and Loess Plateau. The results showed that the Huangshui River had significantly lower alpha diversity than the plain rivers. Despite the similarity in their environmental conditions, the main taxonomic compositions of the
