Article Synopsis
- Bacterioplankton are crucial for global element cycling, and their structure and function were studied in the Changjiang Estuary under hypoxic and non-hypoxic conditions.
- The analysis, involving high-throughput sequencing and metagenomic predictions, revealed distinct community compositions, with higher diversity in hypoxic bottom layers and dominant groups differing between the zones.
- Results highlighted that dissolved oxygen influenced community variation significantly, while nutrient levels affected variations overall, with hypoxic zones showing more genes related to nitrogen fixation and nitrification compared to the surface layer, which had genes for nitrate reduction processes.
