The effect of carbon subsidies on marine planktonic niche partitioning and recruitment during biofilm assembly
The influence of resource availability on planktonic and biofilm microbial community membership is poorly understood. Heterotrophic bacteria derive some to all of their organic carbon (C) from photoautotrophs while simultaneously competing with photoautotrophs for inorganic nutrients such as phospho...
