Ecological Role of Bacteria Involved in the Biogeochemical Cycles of Mangroves Based on Functional Genes Detected through GeoChip 5.0.

ABSTRACT: Mangroves provide a variety of ecosystem services and contribute greatly to the global biogeochemical cycle. Microorganisms play important roles in biogeochemical cycles and maintain the dynamic balance of mangroves. However, the roles of bacteria in the biogeochemical cycles of mangroves and their ecological distribution and functions remain largely uncharacterized. This study thus sought to analyze and compare the ecological distributions and potential roles of bacteria in typical mangroves using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and GeoChip. Interestingly, the bacterial community compositions were largely similar in the studied mangroves, including Shenzhen, Yunxiao, Zhanjiang, Hainan, Hongkong, Fangchenggang, and Beihai mangroves. Moreover, gamma-proteobacterium_uncultured and <
