essential water resources. Deciphering microbiota dynamics and assembly mechanisms …

Bacterioplankton communities regulate energy and matter fluxes fundamental to all aquatic
life. The Baltic Sea offers an outstanding ecosystem for interpreting causes and …

The bacteria in the water column and surface sediments are inherently intertwined and

Eutrophication due to nitrogen and phosphorus input is an increasing problem in lake
ecosystems. Free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) bacterial communities play a primary …

Bacterial communities play a critical role in food webs and the biogeochemical cycles of
fundamental elements. However, there remains a substantial gap in our knowledge of the …

Particle-associated bacteria (PAB) and free-living bacteria (FLB) from aquatic environments
during phytoplankton blooms differ in their physical distance from algae. Both the …

In many studies, rare bacterial taxa have been found to increase in response to
environmental changes. These changes have been proposed to contribute to the insurance …

Mobile Bay, the fourth largest estuary in the USA located in the northern Gulf of Mexico, is
known for extreme hypoxia in the water column during dry season caused by NH4+-rich and …

Anthropogenic disturbances, such as pollution discharge and damming, can lead to a global
decline in biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. However, how such disturbances affect …
