Article Synopsis
- Tropical estuarine systems are vital for biodiversity and nutrient cycling, but their microbiome diversity is still not fully understood, especially regarding seasonal changes.
- A study conducted in a South Atlantic mangrove-dominated estuary analyzed over 12 million metagenomic sequences and water quality, revealing different microbial families that thrived in wet versus dry seasons.
- The dry season had higher salinity and emphasized nitrogen processes, while the wet season showed increased greenhouse gas production, suggesting a link between microbial diversity and seasonal changes in gas emissions.
Amazonian floodplains form complex hydrological networks that play relevant roles in global biogeochemical cycles, and bacterial degradation of the organic matter in these systems is key for regional carbon budget. The Amazon undergoes extreme seasonal variations in water level, which produces changes in landscape and diversifies sources of organic inputs into floodplain systems. Although these changes should affect bacterioplankton community composition (BCC), little is known about which factors drive spatial and temporal patterns of bacterioplankton in these Amazonian floodplains.
