DNA extractions were performed in a PCR-free clean room, separate from main laboratory facilities. No high copy templates, cultures or amplicons were permitted in this clean laboratory. DNA extractions from water samples followed the SXCAPSULE method in Spens, et al.41 (link). Briefly, preservative solution was removed from the outlet and filters were dried at room temperature for two hours. 720 μl Qiagen buffer ATL (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and 80 μl Proteinase K (20 mg/ml) was added to the filter and all samples were digested overnight at 56 °C. After digestion, samples were processed using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit as per manufacturer instructions, with a final elution of 200 μl PCR grade water.
Sediment extractions were conducted using the Qiagen DNeasy Powermax Soil Kit following the manufacturer’s protocol. The nine samples collected in each site were randomly mixed to form three pooled samples; 10 g of pooled sample was processed for the extraction. A total of ten samples were processed, three from each site with a single extraction control.

DNA was extracted using the DNeasy PowerMax Soil Kit (QIAGEN, United States), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Prior to extraction, the membrane was cut into as small pieces as possible with a sterile scissor. For 16S rRNA gene amplification the primer set 515F (5′-GTG CCA GCM GCC GCG GTA A-3′)/907R (5′-CCG TCA ATT CMT TTR ADT TT-3′) was used for bacteria (Bates et al., 2011 (link); Xia et al., 2011 (link)) targeting V4-V5 region in order to minimize the overestimation due to intragenomic heterogeneity of 16S rRNA gene (Sun et al., 2013 (link)), and the primer set 519F (′-CAG CCG CGG TAA-3′)/915R (5′-GTG CTC CCC CGC CAA TTC CT-3′) was chosen for archaea due to its good specificity for the archaeal community (Yu et al., 2020 (link)). PCR amplification was performed with an initial denaturation step of 94°C for 5 min, followed by 30 cycles of 94°C for 30 s, 52°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 30 s, after which there was a final extension step of 72°C for 10 min. Each sample was run in triplicate. Library construction was performed according to the NEBNext® Ultra II DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® (New England Biolabs, United States). We selected Illumina HiSeq 2,500 and NovaSeq 6,000 platforms to perform the paired-end sequencing for bacterial and archaeal libraries, respectively.

For metabarcoding, we extracted DNA from approximately 10 g of each soil sample using Qiagen DNeasy PowerMax Soil Kit. We used all samples collected or 21 per timepoint (63 total samples). Samples from each timepoint were extracted and sequenced separately (Table 1). We purified extracted genomic DNA using Qiagen DNeasy PowerClean Cleanup Kit. We used universal metazoan primers mlCOIint and HCO2198 from Leray et al. (2013 (link)) to amplify a fragment of the COI gene. Each reaction contained 10 µl of Phusion High‐Fidelity Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 0.4 µl of each of the forward and reverse primers, 6.7 µl water, and 2.5 µl DNA. The reactions were run with the following protocol: [98°C × 3 min, 27× (98°C × 10 s, 46°C × 30 s, 72°C × 45 s), 72°C × 5 min]. Each sample was analyzed with three replicate PCRs. After verifying the PCRs’ success on 1.5% agarose gels, we pooled the three replicates together (21 total pools per timepoint) and quantified their DNA concentration using a Qubit. Sequencing was performed on a MiSeq v2 Nano flow cell with 2 × 250 bp paired‐end reads at the Genomics Core of the Research Technology Support Facility (RTSF) at Michigan State University. Raw reads were demultiplexed by the RTSF.

Total DNA was isolated from 1 mL of the examined cell suspension using the DNeasy PowerMax Soil Kit (Qiagen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). PCR fragments of the 16S rRNA gene were obtained with the universal primers 341F (5′-CCTAYGG-GDBGCWSCAG-3′) and 806R (5′-GGACTACNVG-GGTHTCTAAT-3′) [33 (link)]. The PCR fragments were barcoded with Nextera XT Index Kit v.2 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) and purified using Agencourt AMPure beads (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). The concentrations of the obtained PCR products were calculated using the Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). All PCR fragments were then mixed in equal amounts and sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq (2 × 300 nt from both ends). Pairwise reads were combined using FLASH v.1.2.11 [34 (link)]. The sequences were clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at 97% identity using Usearch [35 (link)]; low-quality reads, chimeras, and singletons were eliminated during clusterization using the Usearch algorithm. Taxonomic identification was carried out using the SILVA v.132 database and the VSEARCH algorithm [36 (link)].
