The microbially-mediated reduction processes have potential for the bioremediation of acid mine drainage (AMD), which represents a worldwide environment problem. However, we know little about the microbial interactions in anaerobic AMD sediments. Here we utilized genome-resolved metagenomics to uncover the nature of cooperative and competitive metabolic interactions in 90 AMD sediments across Southern China. Our analyses recovered well-represented prokaryotic communities through the reconstruction of 2625 population genomes. Functional analyses of these genomes revealed extensive metabolic handoffs which occurred more frequently in nitrogen metabolism than in sulfur metabolism, as well as stable functional redundancy across sediments resulting from populations with low genomic relatedness. Genome-scale metabolic modeling showed that metabolic competition promoted microbial co-occurrence relationships, suggesting that community assembly was dominated by habitat filtering in sediments. Notably, communities colonizing more extreme conditions tended to be highly competitive, which was typically accompanied with increased network complexity but decreased stability of the microbiome. Finally, our results demonstrated that heterotrophic associated with ferric iron and sulfate reduction contributed most to the elevated levels of competition. Our study shed light on the cooperative and competitive metabolisms of microbiome in the hazardous AMD sediments, which may provide preliminary clues for the AMD bioremediation in the future.
