“…The environmental DNA metabarcoding technology typically includes the 18S rRNA ( Zuo et al, 2022 ), ITS ( Yu et al, 2022 ), and 16S rRNA ( Huang Y. et al, 2022 ) amplicons by using special primers. This technology has been widely used in studies on the assembly mechanisms of bio-communities with the development of high-throughput sequencing.…”

Marine fungi are essential for the ecological function of estuarine ecosystems. However, limited studies have reported on the structure and assembly pattern of the fungal communities in estuaries. The purpose of this study is to reveal the structure and the ecological process of the fungal community in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) by using the amplicon sequencing method. Phyla of Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Chytridiomycota were dominant in the seawater and sediment samples from YRE. The null model analysis, community-neutral community model (NCM), and phylogenetic normalized stochasticity ratio (pNST) showed that the stochastic process dominated the assembly of fungal communities in YRE. Drift and homogeneous dispersal were the predominant stochastic processes for the fungal community assembly in seawater and sediment samples, respectively. The co-occurrence network analysis showed that fungal communities were more complex and closely connected in the sediment than in the seawater samples. Phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mucoromycota were the potential keystone taxa in the network. These findings demonstrated the importance of stochastic processes for the fungal community assembly, thereby widening our knowledge of the community structure and dynamics of fungi for future study and utilization in the YRE ecosystem.
