Total bacteria in sediment of freshwater aquaculture pond (PRJCA047709)
We explore the vertical variation in bacterial-archaeal community and niche differentiation of denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation microbes in freshwater aquaculture ponds of Northern China. Specifically, we studied the abundances and community structures of bacteria, archaea and nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation microbes (M. oxyfera-like bacteria and M. nitroreducens-like archaea), as well as network interactions of microbes in the sediments aquaculture ponds compared with a natural succession pond without feed supply. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to provide information for risk assessment and potential recommendations for the restoration of aquaculture ponds, especially for methane and nitrogen reduction.This is the information about bacteria.
