In natural habitats, the diversity of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria could be affected by multiple environmental variables. In this study, we investigated the distribution of the anammox bacterial community in surface sediment from the Dongjiang River (riverine sediment, DJ) to the Pearl River Estuary (estuarine sediment, PRE) and then to the South China Sea (coastal sediment, SCS). The results revealed evident differences in the structural diversity of anammox bacteria in three different habitats.CandidatusBrocadia accounted for approximately 90% of the total anammox bacteria in DJ, conversely,Ca. Scalindua dominated in the SCS. Nevertheless,Ca. Scalindua,Ca. Brocadia andCa. Kuenenia coexisted in the PRE. The qPCR results indicated that anammox bacterial 16S rRNA gene abundance ranged from 2.23 × 105to 1.19 × 107copies g−1of wet weight, but no significant correlation was found between the abundances and environmental variables (p> 0.05). The relative abundances ofCa. Brocadia gradually decreased with increasing salinity, andCa. Scalindua showed the opposite trend, suggesting that salinity was a crucial factor in sculpturing the community composition of anammox bacteria in natural environments.Ca. Brocadia should be able to live in freshwater ecosystems, but it can also tolerate a certain level of salinity.Ca. Scalindua was halophilic anammox bacterium and exists only in saline environments.Ca. Kuenenia could adapt to a wide range of salinity and preferred to live in high DIN level conditions according to our search. The distribution pattern of anammox bacteria may be the result of microbial migration and long-term adaptation to salinity.
