Abstract:Extensive production and application of magnetic minerals produce significant amounts of magnetic wastes to the environment. These magnetic minerals exposure could affect microbial community composition and geographic distribution. Here, we reported magnetic susceptibility is involved in determining bacterial α-diversity and community composition in surface sediment across Bohai Sea. Environmental factors (explained 9.80%) played a larger role than spatial variables (explained 6.72%) in conditioning the bacter… Show more
