Anthropogenic activities have inevitably impacted riverine ecosystems, yet their overall contribution to the assemblage of bacterial communities at a large river basin scale remains unclear. In this study, 16S amplicon sequencing was implemented to investigate the bacterial ecosystems in paired water and sediment of North River and West River basins in South China., which contains various anthropogenic environments (e.g., rural/urban area, mining area and livestock area). Subsequently, the links between bacterial community and various types of emerging pollutants in river water were analyzed. The results show that the bacterial assemblage of water and sediment had their own properties that the bacterial community of sediment were mainly affected by seasonal properties, while the bacterial community of water were affected by both seasons and anthropogenic activities. Therein, the aquatic bacterial compositions and abundances were driven by changes in temperature, dissolved oxygen and the emerging pollutants. The dominant phyla Proteobacteria and Firmicutes exhibited adaptability to the mining-affected regions, therein many clades (e.g., Beijerinckiaceae, Acetobacteraceae and Mycobacteriaceae) were also prevalent in the livestock-affected and densely-populated regions. In addition, these two phyla presented associations to the antibiotic resistance in water. The levels of antibiotics, relative antibiotic resistance gens (ARGs) and non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals (NAPs) were closely related to bacterial community composition, diversity and functional diversity, indicating their drive in shifting bacterial communities. Collectively, this work provides a basis for understanding the contribution of anthropogenic activities in shifting bacterial community at a large river basin scale. Further, the results provide new insights for expansion of ecological assessment.
