Responses of Free-Living Community to Seasonal Environmental Variation in a Subtropical Inland Bay.

are widely distributed in aquatic environments and strongly associated with eutrophic environments and human health through the consumption of contaminated seafood. However, the response of the community to seasonal variation in eutrophic environments is poorly understood. In this study, we used a -specific 16S rRNA sequencing approach to reveal the seasonal distribution pattern and diversity of the community in the Maowei Sea, Beibu Gulf of China.
