Temporal factors and habitats drive the variation of microbial distributions and co-occurrence patterns in the Pearl River Estuary

BMC Microbiology
Background Estuaries are dynamic and complicated aquatic ecosystems, where both abiotic and biotic factors heavily vary across seasons and among habitats. However, the distributions and co-occurrence patterns of microorganisms in estuarine ecosystems are
