    Abstract:
    Phytoplankton and bacterioplankton perform important ecological functions in lake ecosystem. In this paper, the abundance and composition of phytoplankton and bacterioplankton at 13 sites of Dianchi lake during the wet and dry seasons were monitored, and the relationship between phytoplankton and bacterioplankton in this plateau lake was studied. Phytoplankton community structure analysis was carried out by ocular method, and bacterioplankton was investigated by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene Illumina sequencing. The relationship between phytoplankton and bacterioplankton was observed using redundancy analysis. The results showed that 87 species of phytoplankton belonging to 5 phyla and 29 genera were identified in Dianchi lake. Phytoplankton diversity and richness were higher in the wet season than those in the dry season. In the wet season, Cyanophyta was the dominant phylum whose density was 2.01 × 108 cells/L, accounting for more than 90% of the total algae, then followed by Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, Chrysophyta, and Cryptophyta. The spatial distribution of phytoplankton in the wet season and dry seasons showed significant differences. In the dry season, the north-central part of Dianchi lake was dominated by Limnothrix redekei and Microcystis minutissima of Cyanophyta, while Pseudanabaena moniliformis and Coelosphaerium nagelianum of Cyanophyta mainly was dominated in the south of Dianchi lake. In the wet season, Microcystis minutissima of Cyanophyta was the dominant species all the area, while Limnothrix redekei of Cyanophyta was second dominant. Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla among bacterioplankton. The community structure of bacterioplankton was influenced by Cyanophyta and Bacillariophyta. Cyanophyta had a major influence on Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter of Proteobacteria, and Flavobacterium of Bacteroidetes. Bacillariophyta showed a strong correlation with Gemmobacter, Stenotrophomonas, and Aeromonas of Proteobacteria. Cyanophyta and Bacillariophyta produced the most significant impact on predicted functional genes of bacterioplankton, and the predicted functional genes of the samples were different in different seasons. Cell densities of Cyanophyta were positively related to metabolism-predicted functional genes of bacterioplankton. Bacillariophyta and Cryptophyta had an impact on most of the cellular processes and signaling predicted functional genes. Bacterioplankton-predicted functional gene information storage and processing were significantly affected by cell densities of Chlorophyta. Therefore, the analysis of the phytoplankton community and the bacterioplankton-predicted functional gene in Dianchi lake exerts a great significance in revealing the ecosystem function of plateau lakes and harmful algal bloom control.
