Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the bacterioplankton communities in streams exposed to pollution of different types.
Methods: The bacterioplankton communities in three selected heavily polluted streams were investigated by using terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis in combination with 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis.
Results: Both T-RFLP and 16S rRNA gene clone library revealed a great difference in bacterioplankton community composition in the different streams.
Conclusion: This work might provide some new insights into bioremediation of heavily polluted streams.

Improperly treated wastewater and surface runoff can degrade water quality by introducing microbial contaminants, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and their genes (ARGs). Constructed treatment wetlands (CTWs) offer a low-resource solution for managing impaired watersheds. However, their ability to mitigate microbial contaminants, particularly ARGs, requires further study.

The Biogeochemical cycles are crucial for aquatic ecosystems, particularly the functioning of nutrient cycles. Growing anthropogenic pressure alters their functioning, causing accelerated eutrophication. Understanding the scale of alteration in ecological functions could assist with combat strategies.

Microbes contribute to aquatic ecosystem function and the fitness of macroscopic organisms, including zooplankton. Many factors affect the taxonomic compositions of free-living (bacterioplankton) and zooplankton-associated microbial communities in lakes; yet how these communities vary seasonally and among lakes remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate how free-living bacterial communities and those associated with different crustacean zooplankton hosts change in response to fluctuations in their natural environment across time and space.

Understanding the interactions between environmental factors and ecological processes that shape bacterioplankton is a fundamental goal of microbial ecology. With increasing urbanization and environmental stress, marine coastal ecosystems necessitate careful evaluation of microbial dynamics. Environmental DNA was utilized to investigate bacterioplankton in the coastal waters of the East China Sea, revealing distinct environmental gradients that significantly shape bacterioplankton community composition.

Understanding the diversity-productivity relationship (DPR) is crucial for elucidating the ecological functions of marine bacterioplankton. However, studies have often focused on species diversity, neglecting phylogenetic diversity, which may offer deeper insights into the complex ecological processes shaping DPR in natural systems. This study addressed this gap by exploring the role of phylogenetic diversity in bacterioplankton productivity in the northern South China Sea, a coastal ecosystem influenced by estuarine plumes.
