Popis: Microbes in subsurface oil reservoirs play important roles in elemental cycles and biogeochemical processes. However, the community assembly pattern of indigenous microbiome and their succession under long-term human activity remain poorly understood. Here we studied the microbial community assembly in underground sandstone cores from 190 to 2050 m in northeast China and their response to long-term oil recovery (10-50 years). Indigenous microbiome in subsurface petroleum reservoirs were dominated by Gammaproteobacteria, Firmicutes, Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria, which exhibited a higher contribution of homogenizing dispersal assembly and different taxonomy distinct ecological modules when compared with perturbed samples. Specifically, the long-term oil recovery reduced the bacterial taxonomic- and functional-diversity, and increased the community co-occurrence associations in subsurface oil reservoirs. Moreover, distinguished from the perturbed samples, both variation partition analysis and structural equation model revealed that the contents of quartz, NO
