摘要Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (AAPB) are significant bacterial groups in aquatic ecosystems, known for their rapid growth and photoheterotrophic characteristics. However, the distribution and ecological assembly process of AAPB in low irradiation freshwater basins remain unclear, warranting further investigation. In this study, we present the diversity, abundance, spatial variations, ecological process, and community interaction of AAPB in sediment of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) under low irradiation. Our findings demonstrate the dominant genera of AAPB community that exist in the TGR area also are appeared in different waters, with some regional preference. Moreover, the concentration of pufM gene, an indicator for AAPB, maintains a consistently high numerical level ranging from (2.21 +/- 0.44) x 104 to (9.98 +/- 0.30) x 107 gene copies/g. Although solar irradiation is suggested as the major factor affecting AAPB, it remains unclear whether and how AAPB differ between regions due to varying solar irradiation levels. Our results show spatial differences between total bacteria and AAPB communities, with significant differences observed only in AAPB. Geographical and environmental factor contributed less than 10% to the spatial difference of community, with sediment type and environmental factors being the key factors influencing microbial community structure. The stochastic process plays a dominant role in the aggregation and replacement of AAPB communities, among which the most contribution is dispersal limitation. For AAPB network, Yoonia and Gemmobacter are the hubs for modules. Those results valuable insights into the AAPB communities in TGR with low irradiation.
