摘要

Abstract

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (AAPB) represent a major group of bacterioplankton assemblages in many water systems and some are assumed to be closely associated with phytoplankton. However

studies on relationships between AAPB and cyanobacterial blooms are in scarcity. The dynamics of the abundance and diversity of AAPB was compared based on

pufM

gene in Meiliang Bay (featured by cyanobacterial blooms) and East Bay (featured by macrophyte) of Taihu Lake

a shallow subtropical lake in the East China plain. AAPB abundance was not significantly different between the two sites

and they were positively correlated with dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration. The ratios of AAPB to total bacteria varied from 3.4% to 11.5% and peaked in winter in both sites. No significant differences of AAPB community compositions were detected between the two sites

but there was a separation between warm seasons (June

August

and October) and cold seasons (December

February

and April). Rhizobiales and

Limnohabitans

-like

pufM

sequences were significantly contributors for the difference between two seasons

and specially enriched in cold seasons. Chlorophyll

(Chl

) and DOC were the most significant variables influencing the AAPB community structure. Furthermore

Porphyrobacter

and Rhodospirillales-like

pufM

sequences were positively correlated with Chl

indicating potential influence of cyanobacterial blooms on these AAPB taxa. These results suggested that diverse AAPB ecotypes coexisted in Taihu Lake

and their ecological role in carbon cycling in the lake may not be ignored.
