Microbial communities are prominent fireatures of intertidal marine habitats,where transferring material and energy that support,drive the functional capacity of coastal ecosystem.The microbes that live in this area need to adapt to survive long periods of time in and out of the water.Meanwhile,burrows allow penetration of oxygen to depths of a few cm,altering the spatial distribution of biogeochemical zones within the porewater and sediments.In this research,the microbial diversity of intertidal zone on the mud flat seashore of sortheast China was examined by combining directed in situ measurements and high-throughput sequencing.Analysis of16S rRNA genes revealed the dominant taxonomic group identified in all samples are proteobacteria forbacteria and crenarchaeota for archaea.
