The invention discloses a method for enriching and detecting lake and reservoir planktonic viruses based on an
environmental DNA technology and application of the method, and belongs to the technical field of
microorganism detection.The method comprises the steps that 1, according to the change rate of dissolved
oxygen on the vertical section of a lake and
reservoir water body, the
water body is divided into a lake upper layer, an
oxygen spring layer and a lake lower layer; 2, when the
water depth is smaller than 3 m and
thermal stratification and
oxygen stratification do not exist, collecting a
water sample at the position 0.5 m away from the
surface layer, when the
water depth is 3-10 m, collecting the
water sample at the position 0.5 m away from the
surface layer and the
water sample at the position 1-2 m away from the upper portion of bottom
sediment, and when the
water depth is larger than 10 m, at least collecting samples of three water
layers; according to the method, by combining two different sample treatment methods, lake and reservoir planktonic
virus communities including
intracellular viruses and virions can be more comprehensively detected, so that more complete information is obtained. By knowing the
structure and function of the lake and reservoir planktonic
virus community, a scientific basis is provided for
water environment monitoring and management,
water body pollution can be prevented and controlled, and the water
ecological environment is protected.
