摘要
Bacterial communities and porewater dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool are intimately interactive in sedimentary environments. Estuarine coastal regions are an interactive area between terrestrial and marine influences in terms of DOM origins and freshness. Yet, we know little about the relationships between the bacterial communities and DOM in those regions. In this study, porewater DOM samples were collected from 42 sites in the coastal East China Sea. The porewater DOM optical properties were determined by fluorescence and absorption spectra, while the corresponding bacterial community compositions of those sediments were examined by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that bacterial species richness was positively correlated with multiple terrestrial indicators based on the optical properties of DOM, which implied that heterogeneous DOM from terrestrial origins might harbor a wider spectrum of bacterial taxa in marine sediments. The analysis of the co-occurrence network of the bacterial communities showed that the edges and density for samples with low DOM freshness were 3.4 times and 3 times those for the samples with high DOM freshness, respectively. This suggested that the connection among the bacterial taxa under the lower DOM freshness condition were enhanced and that reduced freshness of DOM may encourage more complimentary utilization of resources. The findings provide a new insight into such interactive processes of heterogeneous organic matter utilization meditated by microorganisms in coastal sediments.
