Denitrifying anaerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria in river networks of the Taihu Basin: Community dynamics and assembly process.

ABSTRACT: Denitrifying anaerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (DAMO bacteria) plays an important role in reducing methane emissions from river ecosystems. However, the assembly process of their communities underlying different hydrologic seasons remains unclarified. In this study, the dynamics of DAMO bacterial communities in river networks of the Taihu Basin were investigated by amplicon sequencing across wet, normal, and dry seasons followed by multiple statistical analyses. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Group B was the major subgroup of DAMO bacteria and significant dynamics for their communities were observed across different seasons (constrained principal coordinate analysis, p = 0.001). Furthermore, the neutral community model and normalized stochasticity ratio model were applied to r
