Habitat and seasonal variations in bacterial community structure and diversity in sediments of a Shallow lake

Benthic bacteria are drivers of aquatic ecosystem material circulation and energy flow, and are sensitive to environmental changes. In this study, a total of 79 sediment samples were collected from four representative habitat types (duck farm, fish farm, lotus pond and residential area) and one refe...
