Abstract Bacteria play key roles in the function and diversity of aquatic systems, but aside from study specific bloom little is known about or biogeography bacteria associated with harmful cyanobacterial blooms (cyanoHABs). CyanoHAB species are to shape bacterial community composition rely on functions provided by bacteria, leading hypothesized cyanoHAB interactome, a coevolved synergistic interacting species, each necessary for success others. Here, we surveyed microbiome Microcystis...

Abstract Rhizosphere microbiota has received much attention due to their associations with plant growth and fundamental importance in terrestrial ecosystems. However, relatively few studies have focused on rhizosphere microbial communities associated aquatic macrophytes freshwater lakes. We hypothesized that the microbiome would reflect presence of macrophyte roots concomitant microhabitat conditions create. Here, high‐throughput sequencing network analysis were employed compare composition...

Cyanobacteria blooms (cHABs) comprised of the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis, are increasing in waterbodies worldwide. CHABs estuaries often originate from upstream locations with longer hydraulic residence times (e.g., reservoirs, static channels). These also accumulate higher concentrations benthic overwintering cells that serve as inoculum for subsequent year's blooms. We investigated Microcystis seed stock hydrologically complex upper San Francisco Estuary known...
