Abstract:
To investigate the effects of synergistic bacteria-algae (
Chlorella+ EM bacteria) on microbial community structures in the intestine and aquaculture water of
Eriocheir sinensis cultured in photovoltaic-integrated ponds, three groups-photovoltaic (FPI), photovoltaic + synergistic bacteria-algae (FP-BA), and traditional pond (TAC)-underwent dynamic monitoring at 0, 30, 60 and 90 d. Results demonstrate that the FP-BA group significantly suppressed intestinal pathogenic
Vibrio proliferation (reduced abundance vs. TAC at 90 d,
P < 0.05), maintained probiotic
Candidatus_Bacilloplasma dominance with minimal unique genera fluctuation, and enhanced microbial stability through replication and repair pathway enrichment; concurrently, FP-BA significantly increased abundances of water-purifying Planctomycetota and
Pirellula (
P < 0.05) with 30 d α-diversity surpassing FPI and TAC (
P < 0.05). While TAC enriched more opportunistic pathogens (e.g.,
Vibrio,
Enterobacter) and eutrophication indicators (e.g., Actinobacteriota), FPI exhibited reduced biodiversity, declined membrane transport function, and significantly higher cyanobacterial bloom risk (
Microcystis) versus TAC at 90 d due to photovoltaic shading; conversely, FP-BA prioritized lipid metabolism and cofactor synthesis to mitigate organic pollution impacts. Synergistic bacteria-algae alleviated photovoltaic shading stress through dual pathways-intestinal probiotic maintenance and water purification, which can effectively circumvent risks in both traditional and photovoltaic aquaculture.
