Abstract Wastewater treatment plant effluents release microbiological pollutants, including the intI 1 gene (integrases of class integron), which has been proposed as a target for monitoring anthropogenic pollution in surface waters. This correlates with antibiotic resistance genes, making it an important proxy genetic contamination aquatic environments. It is currently unclear whether found lake water mainly present due to continuous seeding or if autochthonous bacteria harbor this gene. To better understand fate and dynamics integrons systems, we resorted classical limnological (qPCR) over multiple years three different size fractions: free‐living bacteria, particle‐attached zooplankton‐attached bacteria. We also conducted experiments elucidate impact grazers on abundance 1. The fractions Lake Maggiore microbial community showed particle‐bound lifestyle 1‐hosting Most these originated from both wastewater effluent that discharges into itself (amplicon sequencing). hypothesize grow particles open waters, them particularly vulnerable grazing by large filter feeders such Daphnia . Therefore, presence reduced water, whereas was not true other Rotaria macrura Poterioochromonas sp. Our study shows food web structure temporal changes influence consequently assessment pollution.
