Graphene photocatalysis is a new method for harmful algae and water pollution control. However, microbial communities undergoing graphene photocatalysis treatment in freshwater lakes have been poorly studied. Here, using 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing, the responses of microbial communities to graphene photocatalysis were analyzed in the eutrophic lake, Lake Xinyun, southwestern China. For microeukaryotes, we found that Arthropoda was dominant in summer, while its abundant level declined in spring under natural conditions. The evident reduction of Arthropods was observed after graphene photocatalysis treatment in summer and then reached a relatively stable level. For bacteria, Cyanobacteria decreased in summer due to the graphene photocatalysis-mediated inactivation. However, Cyanobacteria was higher in the treated group in spring with a genera group-shift. Functional analysis revealed that microeukaryotes showed higher potential for fatty acid oxidation and TCA cycle in the treated group in summer, but they were more abundant in control in spring. Pathways of starch and sucrose metabolism and galactose metabolism were more abundant in control in summer, while they were enriched in the treated group in spring for bacteria. This study offers insights into the effects of graphene photocatalysis on microbial communities and their functional potential in eutrophic lake.
