Huangtai algae in Ulansuhai Lake (PRJCA047418)
As the largest shallow lake in the Yellow River Basin, Ulansuhai Lake has long been affected by external pollution, and periodic outbreaks of Huangtai algae have become a significant indicator of its ecosystem degradation. However, the academic community still lacks a systematic understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms underlying the formation of Huangtai algae. In this study, the high-incidence areas of Huangtai algae in Ulansuhai Lake were investigated by using metagenomic sequencing technology to analyse the characteristics of the microbial community structure and functional gene distribution, to explore the bacteria-algae symbiotic mechanism, and aim to clarify the microbial driving mechanism of Huangtai algae outbreaks.
