Popis: Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis is an important biological resource in the South China Sea. However, the microbiological characteristics of this squid, especially those of the dwarf-form, are poorly understood. This study was conducted to analyze the microbial community structure and metabolic characteristics of the intestinal and gill tissues of dwarf-form populations of S. oualaniensis. The dwarf-form squids of different sexes and gonadal maturities were collected from South China Sea in spring 2020. Results showed that Mycoplasma was the most dominant group of bacteria in the intestinal samples of the females with immature gonads (FN), females at sexual maturity (FY), and males at sexual maturity (MY) and the second-highest relative abundance group in males with immature gonads (MN). The microbial community structure in squid gills differed from that of intestinal flora. The BD1-7 clade was the dominant genus in gill samples of all groups. Furthermore, the microbial community activities in gills were higher than in intestinal groups, especially FYG. The larger dwarf-form populations had microbial communities with more robust utilization of carbon sources, assessed via average well color development (AWCD). Correlation and redundancy analysis determined that AWCD significantly positively correlated with the relative abundance of BD1-7 clade (p < 0.05). The results indicated that the dominant group of bacteria and microbial community structure were different between the intestinal and gill microbial communities in the dwarf-form S. oualaniensis populations of different sexes and maturities. Moreover, the metabolic potential of the gill microbial community was higher than that of the intestinal microbial community in the dwarf-form populations.
