Bacterioplankton in freshwater streams play a critical role in stream nutrient cycling. Despite their ecological importance, the temporal variability in the structure of stream bacterioplankton communities remains understudied. We investigated the composition and temporal variability of stream bacterial communities and the influence of physicochemical parameters on these communities. We used barcoded pyrosequencing to survey bacterial communities in 107 streamwater samples collected from four…

Community assembly processes underlying the temporal dynamics of glacial stream and lake bacterial communities.
Stream Hydrological Fragmentation Drives Bacterioplankton Community Composition
TLDR
To determine how bacterial community composition responded to hydrological fragmentation in summer, and to evaluate whether the seasonal shifts in community composition predominate over the effects of episodic habitat fragmentation, the bacterial community was assessed along the intermittent stream Fuirosos.

TLDR
The common observation of connections between ecosystem process drivers and microbial diversity suggests that microbial taxonomic turnover could mediate ecosystem-scale responses to changing environmental conditions, including both microbial habitat distribution and physicochemical factors.
Spatial-Temporal Changes of Bacterioplankton Community along an Exhorheic River
TLDR
The nutrient-loving group including Limnohabitans, Hydrogenophaga, and Polynucleobacter were abundant in the urbanized Haihe River, indicating the environmental factors in these anthropogenic waterbodies heavily influence the core freshwater community composition.
Rapid and Stable Microbial Community Assembly in the Headwaters of a Third-Order Stream
TLDR
The results show that the bacterioplankton community develops rapidly and predictably from the headwater population with increasing total stream length, underpin the importance of headwaters as the site of rapid in-stream selection that results in the reproducible establishment of a highly stable community of freshwater riverine bacteria.
Spatiotemporal dynamics and determinants of planktonic bacterial and microeukaryotic communities in a Chinese subtropical river
TLDR
Investigation of planktonic bacterial and microeukaryotic communities of the Jiulong River found evidence of temporal change between wet and dry seasons and distinct spatial patterns of bacterial andmicroeukarian communities, and baseline data is provided to support further research on river microbial food webs and integrating different microbial groups into river models.
Timescales of variation in diversity and production of bacterioplankton assemblages in the Lower Mississippi River
TLDR
This first temporal longitudinal study of microbial assemblage structure and dynamics in the Lower Mississippi River concludes that particle-associated and free-living bacterioplankton assemblages of the LMR vary in richness, composition, and production at distinct timescales in response to differing sets of environmental factors.
Rapid and stable microbial community assembly in the headwaters of third-order stream
TLDR
The results show that the bacterioplankton community develops rapidly and predictably from the headwater population with increasing total stream length, underpin the importance of headwaters as the site of rapid in-stream selection that results in the reproducible establishment of a highly stable community of freshwater riverine bacteria.
A meta-analysis of changes in bacterial and archaeal communities with time
TLDR
A meta-analysis of temporal dynamics in microbial communities, including 76 sites representing air, aquatic, soil, brewery wastewater treatment, human- and plant-associated microbial biomes, found that temporal variability in both within- and between-community diversity was consistent among microbial communities from similar environments.

Biogeography of bacterioplankton in lakes and streams of an Arctic tundra catchment.
TLDR
Large differences in lake-specific and stream-specific bacterial community composition over restricted spatial scales (<10 km) are revealed and it is suggested that geographic distance and connectivity influence the distribution of bacterioplankton communities across a landscape.
Temporal Patterns in Bacterial Communities in Three Temperate Lakes of Different Trophic Status
TLDR
The patterns of change in bacterial communities indicated that seasonal forces were important in structuring the behavior of the bacterial communities in each lake, and seasonal forces may be important structuring elements of these systems as a whole even if they are uncoupled from the dynamics of the individual system components.
Synchrony and seasonality in bacterioplankton communities of two temperate rivers
TLDR
The bacterioplankton community composition of two nonintersecting temperate rivers was nearly identical and changed synchronously over 2.5 yr, suggesting that intrinsic controls on bacteria were similar in the two rivers and that seasonal changes were driven by extrinsic factors such as climate.
Annually reoccurring bacterial communities are predictable from ocean conditions
TLDR
Using high-resolution molecular fingerprinting, the existence of extraordinarily repeatable temporal patterns in the community composition of 171 operational taxonomic units of marine bacterioplankton over 4.5 years is demonstrated, which suggests that the distribution and abundance of bacterial taxa may modulate ecosystem function and response and that a significant subset of the bacteria exhibit low levels of functional redundancy.
Bacterial Community Composition of Stream Biofilms in Spatially Variable-Flow Environments
TLDR
This work experimented with streambed landscapes constructed from bedforms in large-scale flumes to illuminate the role of spatial flow heterogeneity in biofilm community composition and biodiversity in streams, and suggests species sorting as a model of metacommunity dynamics in stream biofilms, though natural biofilm communities will clearly not conform to a single model offered by metACommunity ecology.
Recurring Seasonal Dynamics of Microbial Communities in Stream Habitats
TLDR
Recurring seasonal patterns of microbial distribution and abundance in three third-order temperate streams within the southeast Pennsylvania Piedmont were observed over 4 years, with a close association between these headwater streams and their watersheds suggested by the recovery of sequences related to microbial populations provisionally attributed to not only freshwaters but also terrestrial habitats.
Environmental controls on the landscape-scale biogeography of stream bacterial communities.
TLDR
The results suggest that microorganisms, like "macro"-organisms, do exhibit biogeographical patterns at the landscape scale and that these patterns may be predictable based on biogeochemical factors.
Bacterial Succession on the Leaf Surface: A Novel System for Studying Successional Dynamics
TLDR
The temporal dynamics observed suggest that although phyllosphere bacterial communities have high levels of phylogenetic diversity and rapid turnover rates, these communities follow predictable successional patterns from season to season.
Within- and between-Lake Variability in the Composition of Bacterioplankton Communities: Investigations Using Multiple Spatial Scales
TLDR
The development of within-lake variation in BCC appeared to depend on the isolation of water by lake shoreline features such as bays or narrow constrictions, suggesting that regional features do not necessarily lead to the development of similar bacterial communities.
Synchrony in aquatic microbial community dynamics
TLDR
Synchrony in community-level dynamics among phytoplankton and bacteria in six north temperate humic lakes demonstrates how linkages between the components of a complex biological system can work to simplify the dynamics of the system and implies that it may be possible to predict the behavior of microbial communities responsible for important biogeochemical services in the landscape.
