Phosphorus (P) is a key biological element with important and unique biogeochemical cycling in natural ecosystems. Anthropogenic phosphorus inputs have been shown to greatly affect natural ecosystems, and this has been shown to be especially true of freshwater systems. While the importance of microbial communities in the P cycle is widely accepted, the role, composition, and relationship to P of these communities in freshwater systems still hold many secrets. Here, we investigated combined bacterial and archaeal communities utilizing 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing and computationally predicted functional metagenomes (PFMs) in 25 streams representing a strong P gradient. We discovered that 16S rRNA community structure and PFMs demonstrate a degree of decoupling between structure and function in the system. While we found that total phosphorus (TP) was correlated to the structure and functional capability of bacterial and archaeal communities in the system, turbidity had a stronger, but largely independent, correlation. At TP levels of approximately 55 mu g/L, we see sharp differences in the abundance of numerous ecologically important taxa related to vegetation, agriculture, sediment, and other ecosystem inhabitants.
