Reciprocal transplant experiment in lakes with disparate trophic states show resolution dependent partial functional redundancy
Abstract Microbial communities have long been assumed to have functional redundancy, but very few studies have tested this empirically. Here, we performed a time series in situ reciprocal transplant experiment in two lakes with disparate trophic states to empirically test for functional redundancy. We determined that the two lakes had different community compositions, and these did not change even after incubating in a different environment. However, functional attributes were different between read- and predicted gene-level analyses of the communities, highlighting the importance of resolution when delineating community functional relationships. Furthermore, there was a linear relationship between community composition and functional attributes, with a broad range of similarities in the former and a narrower range and overall more similarity in the latter, providing support for partial functional redundancy. Ecoplate analysis suggests that the total metabolic activity of a community is influenced by its local environment, even though broad functions like carbon metabolism are widespread. Together, our results support the presence of resolution-dependent partial functional redundancy in aquatic environments.
