In this study, we investigated the specific bacterial distribution and the response of bacterial communities to shifts in environmental factors in the subtropical Beibu Gulf, southern China. The abundances of Actinobacteria, Bacilli, Planctomycetia, Thermoleophilia, Anaerolineae, and Synechococcophycideae were significantly higher in high eutrophic samples than in medium eutrophic and oligotrophic samples. Bacterial alpha-diversity was found greater in high eutrophication samples than in the other samples. Besides, Ponticaulis koreensis, Nautella italic, Anaerospora hongkongensis, Candidatus Aquiluna rubra, and Roseovarius pacificus were sensitive to trophic variation and thus could be used as eco-markers. In addition, the relative abundances of functional genes involving carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism were very high among the samples. We also found temperature, Chl-a, TDN and NO₃⁻ were the main environmental drivers of bacterial community structure. Overall, this study provides new insight into the composition of bacterial community and function response to gradients of eutrophication in Beibu Gulf.
