The adaptation of microbial community to the long-term contamination of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) has not been well studied. Our previous study found that the HBCDs contamination in the microcosms constructed of sediments from two different mangrove forests in 8 months resulted in serious acidification (pH2-3). This study reanalyzed previous sequencing data and compared them with data after 20 months to investigate the adaptive properties of microbial communities in the stress of HBCDs and acidification. It hypothesized that the reassembly was based on the fitness of taxa. The results indicated that eukaryotes and fungi might have better adaptive capacity to these deteriorated habitats. Eukaryotic taxaEufalliaandSyncystis, and fungal taxaWickerhamomyceswere only detected after 20 months of contamination. Moreover, eukaryotic taxaCaloneisandNitzschia, and fungal taxaTalaromyceswere dominant in most of microbial communities (14.467–95.941%). The functional compositions were sediment-dependent and more divergent than community reassemblies. Network and co-occurrence analysis suggested that acidophiles such asAcidisomaandAcidiphiliumwere gaining more positive relations in the long-term stress. The acidophilic taxa and genes involved in resistance to the acidification and toxicity of HBCDs were enriched, for example, bacteriaAcidisomaandAcidiphilium, archaeaThermogymnomonas, and eukaryotesNitzschia, and geneskdpC,odc1, polA,gst, andsod-2. These genes involved in oxidative stress response, energy metabolism, DNA damage repair, potassium transportation, and decarboxylation. It suggested that the microbial communities might cope with the stress from HBCDs and acidification via multiple pathways. The present research shed light on the evolution of microbial communities under the long-term stress of HBCDs contamination and acidification.
