Mesoscale eddies play an important role in ocean energy and material transport. However, the effect of eddies on bacterial and eukaryotic community and their ecological effects remains unclear, regarding anticyclonic eddies (ACE). In this study, bacterial and eukaryotic community composition was examined across an ACE in the South China Sea, using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene. Environmental vari...
