Microbes are key components of aquatic ecosystems and play crucial roles in global
biogeochemical cycles. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of planktonic microbial …

The spatiotemporal distribution of microbial diversity, community composition, and their
major drivers are fundamental issues in microbial ecology. In this study, the planktonic …

To date, few aquatic microbial ecology studies have discussed the variability of the microbial
community in exorheic river ecosystems on both the spatial and seasonal scales. In this …

Water quality ranks the most vital criterion for rivers serving as drinking water sources, which
periodically changes over seasons. Such fluctuation is believed associated with the state …

Bacterial communities play crucial roles in biogeochemical cycles in riverine ecosystems.
However, the use of bacteria as bio-indicators to assess the pollution of water environments …

The spatial distribution of bacterioplankton communities in rivers is driven by multiple
environmental factors, including local and regional factors. Local environmental condition is …

Bacteria play a critical role in environmental and ecological processes in river ecosystems.
We studied the bacterial community in the Ganjiang River, a major tributary of the Yangtze …

Background Planktonic bacteria and archaea play a key role in river nutrient
