Characterization of the effect of different algal blooms on the dynamics of photoheterotrophic bacterioplankton in marine ecosystems
This study investigated the response of photoheterotrophic bacterioplankton to different phytoplankton bloom conditions using controlled marine microcosm experiments. Surface seawater collected from Bahia de Todos Santos, Baja California, Mexico, was incubated under four experimental conditions, like as a no addition control, an organic matter treatment, nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate enrichment.
