Spatial distribution and source apportionment of nitrogen in typical plain river networks and bacterial community response
Summary
This study characterized nitrogen types and bacterial community responses across typical plain river networks with different pollution sources (domestic, agricultural, aquaculture), finding that diverse nitrogen speciation in domestically polluted areas drove greater nitrogen cycling gene abundance and more complex bacterial ecological networks.
The diversity of nitrogen types characteristic of the domestic pollution area mediated bacterial selection pressures, favoring nitrogen cycling and amplifying functional gene abundance. This bacterial activity enhanced nitrogen cycle efficiency, ultimately reducing nitrogen concentrations. Bacterial analyses revealed marked divergence in both community composition and function across different pollution types. Particularly, ecological network analysis showed greater complexity and more network links in the aquaculture pollution area. Overall, the results revealed the impacts of different pollution sources on the ecological processes shaping river microbial communities and determined variations in bacterial diversity and nitrogen-cycling gene abundances.

Spatial Distribution and Driving Factors of Nitrogen Cycle Genes in Urban Landscape Lake
This study mapped the spatial distribution of nitrogen cycle genes in urban landscape lake sediments and water, finding that microbial nitrogen transformation activity correlated with nitrogen input patterns from urban runoff.

Anthropogenic land uses shape denitrification-related microbial communities in freshwater river ecosystems
Researchers investigated how anthropogenic land uses (agricultural and urbanized) versus natural land uses shape denitrification-related microbial communities in the Weihe and Hanjiang Rivers in China's Qinling Mountains using deep 16S rRNA gene sequencing of water and sediment samples. Results revealed that land-use type significantly alters the composition and function of nitrogen-cycling microbial communities in freshwater river ecosystems.
The Community Structure of eDNA in the Los Angeles River Reveals an Altered Nitrogen Cycle at Impervious Sites
Researchers used environmental DNA metabarcoding with six molecular markers to characterize bacterial, plant, fungal, fish, and invertebrate communities at concrete-lined and soft-bottom sites along the Los Angeles River, applying PCA and differential abundance analysis to reveal community structure. The study found that concrete-impervious sites were associated with altered nitrogen cycling driven by differential abundance of Proteobacteria.
Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Bacterioplankton Molecular Ecological Networks in the Yuan River under Different Human Activity Intensity
Bacterioplankton co-occurrence networks in the Yuan River varied spatially and temporally with human activity intensity, with sites under heavy anthropogenic pressure showing simpler, less connected networks and reduced microbial diversity, suggesting that human disturbances destabilize aquatic microbial community interactions.
Evaluation of nitrate pollution sources in surface water across the typical rural-urban interface: a case study of Wen-Rui Tang River, China
Researchers identified the main sources of nitrate pollution in a rural-urban Chinese river, finding that human sewage and agricultural runoff were the primary contributors. While focused on nitrogen pollution, the study illustrates how mixed land use creates complex water quality challenges in rivers that also carry microplastics.
