Factors Affecting Microbial Spatial Diversity in Aquatic Habitats of Moreh, Manipur India

It is believed that spatial structure has a significant role in the origin and preservation of genetic diversity. The spatial organization of most populations' habitats has the potential to have significant effects on the processes of evolution. Our goal in this work was to locate the genetic diversity of bacterial strains in various environments. In this investigation, we isolated the bacterial strains from each of the seven samples we took from water bodies from Khujailok and Lairok river, Moreh Manipur India. After gramstaining, the isolated bacteria were separated into gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. To determine the genetic differences between the isolated bacteria, the DNA was extracted and amplified using PCR. The results showed that salinity was the most important environmental factor in explaining variance in microbial communities, surpassing TN, temperature, TP, or pH. These findings suggested that the genetic diversity and functionality of the water micro biota are influenced by environmental variables. Salinity, not TP, temperature, pH, or TN, was the most crucial environmental component.
