Invasion of Spartina alterniflora on Zostera japonica enhances the abundances of bacteria by absolute quantification sequencing analysis.

ABSTRACT: Plant invasion can alter soil organic matter composition and indirectly impact estuary ecology; therefore, it is paramount to understand how plant invasion influences the bacterial community. Here, we present an absolute quantification 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the bacterial communities that were collected from Zostera japonica and Spartina alterniflora covered areas and Z. japonica degradation areas in the Yellow River Estuary. Our data revealed that the absolute quantity of bacteria in the surface layer was significantly (p < .05) higher than that in the bottom and degradation areas. Following the invasion of S. alterniflora, the abundances of Bacteroidia, Acidimicrobiaceae, and Dehalococcoidaceaewere enriched in the S
