摘要:
To investigate the influence of microbial communities on arsenic speciation in lake sediments of the Hetao Basin in Inner Mongolia during the ice-bound period, the sediments from Wuliangsuhai (WLSH) were taken as the research object. Using 16SrRNA high-throughput sequencing technology, the structural characteristics of microbial communities in WLSH sediments during the ice-bound period were studied. Additionally, methods such as redundancy analysis (RDA), correlation analysis, and co-occurrence network analysis were employed to explore the response relationship between sediment microbial communities and arsenic speciation during the ice-bound period. The results indicated that, apart from the residual arsenic, strongly adsorbed arsenic and arsenic co-precipitated with AVS(Acid-extractable sulfides in sediment), carbonates, manganese oxides, and poorly crystalline Fe hydroxides accounted for a relatively high proportion in the sediments of WLSH during the ice-bound period. When the sedimentary environment was unstable during the ice-bound period, there was a risk of secondary release of arsenic in the sediments of WLSH. The microbial community in the WLSH sediments during the ice-bound period exhibited abundant diversity, and the richness and diversity of microbial community species showed obvious spatial distribution characteristics. There was a significant collinear relationship between microbial communities and arsenic speciation during the ice-bound period, with Thiobacillus, Bacillus, Steroidobacter, Desulfosarcinaceae, and Anaerolinea exhibiting the most pronounced effects on arsenic speciation. Furthermore, adsorbed As, As co-precipitated with AVS, carbonates, manganese oxides, and poorly crystalline Fe hydroxides, as well as As in pyrite, could mutually transform during the ice-bound period, and Thiobacillus and Steroidobacter played crucial roles in this transformation process. This study aims to explore the impact of microbial communities on arsenic speciat
