Randomized trial examines microbe and organic matter interactions in a shallow lake, suggesting important seasonal adaptations.

This research aims to explore how microorganisms interact with dissolved organic matter (DOM) in shallow lakes during different seasons.
Analyzed water and sediment samples from Baiyangdian Lake in summer and winter.
Examined shifts in microbial communities and nutrient dynamics.
Applied network analysis and structural equation modeling to assess interactions.
Winter showed nitrogen enrichment and phosphorus limitation in water.
Planktonic bacteria shifted from cyanobacteriota and actinomycetota in summer to bacillota in winter.
Protein-like DOM was a significant factor influencing microbial communities, enhancing them in summer and inhibiting in winter.

Zhao et al. (2026) studied this question.
