Disentangling the Mechanisms Shaping the Prokaryotic Communities in a Eutrophic Bay.

ABSTRACT: Eutrophication occurring in coastal bays is prominent in impacting local ecosystem structure and functioning. To understand how coastal bay ecosystem function responds to eutrophication, comprehending the ecological processes associated with microbial community assembly is critical. However, quantifying the contribution of ecological processes to the assembly of prokaryotic communities is still limited in eutrophic waters. Moreover, the influence of these ecological processes on microbial interactions is poorly understood. Here, we examined the assembly processes and co-occurrence patterns of prokaryotic communities in a eutrophic bay using 156 surface seawater samples collected over 12 months. The variation of prokaryotic community compositions (PCCs) could be mainly explained by environm
