Abstract

Seagrasses are indispensable in marine ecosystems, offering numerous critical services, with their health significantly influenced by associated rhizosphere microbiomes. Although studies have investigated the microbial communities and their ecological roles in seagrass meadows, the correlations between rhizosphere microbiome and seagrass species from a particular geographic region are limited. Some studies concentrated on the bacterial composition within the rhizosphere of various seagrasses, but the functional aspects of these microbiomes remain unexplored. Our research delves into this void, revealing that Ruppia sinensis, Zostera japonica, and Zostera marina host diverse bacterial community in the composition, connections, functions, and metabolism, such as nitrogen and sulfur metabolism. Our study revealed that seagrass species play an important role in shaping the rhizosphere microbiomes in an equivalent environment, emphasizing the importance of seagrass species in shaping the rhizosphere microbial communities.
