摘要

Abstract

Synechococcus

is one of the most abundant picocyanobacteria in marine ecosystem

and the absence of

Prochlorococcus

would make it indispensable as a primary producer in the Bohai Sea

North China. However

the abundance distribution and genetic diversity of

Synechococcus

in this region have rarely been reported. In this study

the distribution pattern of

Synechococcus

abundance was investigated during four cruises in April

June

August

and November from 2018 to 2019

moreover

its phenogenetic diversity was studied based on high-throughput sequencing of the

cpe

BA operon. The results demonstrate that phycoerythrin-containing

Synechococcus

was most abundant in August when temperature was high and oxygen saturation was low. During this period

Synechococcus

pigment type (PT) 2 was abundant in the Bohai Bay and Laizhou Bay under conditions of high nutrient concentration

temperature

and turbidity. In comparison

PT3

especially those clusters characterized with high or variable ratio of phycourobilin and phycoerythrobilin

was predominant in the Bohai Strait and Liaodong Bay under conditions of high salinity

and oxygen saturation. Furthermore

co-occurrence correlations using network analysis revealed that

Synechococcus

PTs were related to 15.37%–43.48% of the prokaryotic genera.

Synechococcus

PT3c/PT3d and PT2 were the most important PTs in the network. The hierarchical clustering revealed that taxa co-occurred with

Synechococcus

PTs differed among samples. It could be attributed to the substance exchange and the environmental impact

which calls for more studies in the future.
