Characterizing free-living and particle-attached bacterial communities of a canyon river reservoir on the Yungui Plateau, China.

ABSTRACT: Revealing the composition of free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) bacterial communities could provide insights into their distinct roles in biogeochemical processes and algal bloom dynamics. While there is still a lack of research about the difference and interactions between FL and PA communities, especially on the Yungui plateau with underestimated diversity. This study unveiled the structure of both FL and PA bacterial communities in a canyon reservoir (Wujiangdu) on the Yungui Plateau, southern China. Water samples were collected from surface water at nine sites in the reservoir. FL and PA bacterial community structures were identified by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We compared the structure and diversity of FL and PA bacteria and investigated their relationship wi
