Title: Agulhas Current Properties Shape Microbial Community Diversity and Potential Functionality

Abstract

Understanding the impact of oceanographic features on marine microbial ecosystems remains a major ecological endeavour. Here we assess microbial diversity, community structure and functional capacity along the Agulhas current system and the Subtropical convergence in the South Indian Ocean (SIO). Samples collected from the epipelagic, oxygen minimum and bathypelagic zones were analysed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenomic sequencing. In contrast to previous studies, we found high taxonomic richness in surface and deep water samples, but generally low richness for oxygen minimum zone communities. Beta-diversity analysis revealed significant dissimilarity between the three water depths. Most microbial communities were dominated by marine Gammaproteobacteria, with strikingly low levels of picocyanobacteria. Community composition was strongly influenced by specific environmental factors including depth, salinity, and the availability of both oxygen and light. Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur cycling capacity is the SIO was linked to several autotrophic and copiotrophic Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria. Taken together, our data suggest that the environmental conditions in the Agulhas current system, particularly depth-related parameters, substantially influence microbial community structure. While the capacity for biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and sulphur is linked primarily by the dominant Gammaproteobacterial taxa, ecologically rare taxa drive carbon cycling.
