“…An interaction network analysis showed that Bacteroidetes , Nitrospirae , Planctomycetes , Cyanobacteria , Firmicutes , Zixibacteria , and Calditrichaeota were significantly related to the sediment phosphorus and nitrogen cycles (Figure B). Bacteroidetes , Nitrospirae , Cyanobacteria , Planctomycetes , Chloroflexi , and Firmicutes were the dominant gates in sediments (Figure S7) and were mainly involved in sediment carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur metabolism. , Chloroflexi , Planctomycetes , Bacteroidetes , and Cyanobacteria degraded organic pollutants and participated in organic carbon turnover. − Nitrospirae , an important microbial component of the nitrogen cycle in sediments, were mainly involved in nitrification and denitrification processes. , Our study findings agreed with these previous reports, indicating that tritium and carbon-14 exposure affected the sediment nitrogen cycle function by changing the sediment abundance of nitrogen cycle-related microorganisms.…”
