Abstract EN
Using the Illumina sequencing technology, we investigated the vertical distribution of archaeal community in the sediment of Zhushan Bay of Lake Taihu, where the black bloom frequently occurred in summer.
Overall, the Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotal Group (MCG), Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Group 6 (DHVEG-6), and Methanobacterium dominated the archaeal community.
However, we observed significant difference in composition of archaeal community among different depths of the sediment.
DHVEG-6 dominated in the surface layer (0–3 cm) sediment.
Methanobacterium was the dominating archaeal taxa in the L2 (3–6 cm) and L3 (6–10) sediment.
MCG was most abundant in the L4 (10–15 cm) and L5 (15–20 cm) sediment.
Besides, DHVEG-6 was significantly affected by the concentration of total phosphorus (TP).
And loss on ignition (LOI) was an important environmental factor for Methanobacterium.
As the typical archaeal taxa in the surface layer sediment, DHVEG-6 and Methanobacterium might be more adapted to abundant substrate supply from cyanobacterial blooms and take active part in the biomass transformation.
We propose that DHVEG-6 and Methanobacterium could be the key archaeal taxa correlated with the “black bloom” formation in Zhushan Bay.
