TL;DR: AOB dominated over AOA in the estuarine sediments, with the ratio of AOB/AOA amoA gene abundance increasing from the upper (freshwater) to lower (marine) regions of the Colne estuary.

TL;DR: Bacterial dispersal was also affected by phosphate, which was possible due to the high ratios of IN/IP in this coastal sea area, and the number of OTUs shared between every two sites decreased with increasing geographic distance.

TL;DR: Results of the research on sedimentary microbial assemblages along this spatial gradient between riverine and marine environments by high-throughput sequencing suggest the distinct distributional gradients of bacterial and fungal communities partly explain the different roles in the biogeochemical processes of coastal sediment.

TL;DR: The finding demonstrated that these phyla could display variations of bacterial composition linked to environmental disturbance resulted from mariculture, and seemed to be determined by the variables of salinity, PO43−-P, NH4+-N, and Chlorophyll a content.

TL;DR: The results suggested that surface bacterial communities in nSCS had two-level patterns of spatial distribution structured by ecological types (coastal VS. oceanic zones) and mesoscale physical processes, and also provided evidence for bacterial phylogenetic phyla shaped by ecological preferences.
