free-living and attached bacterial communities in a highland lake2

we suppose the effects of changes in phytoplankton species composition on the attached bacterial community are more greater than that on free-living bacterial community. Understanding the effects of changes in phytoplankton species composition and abiotic factors on seasonal patterns in bacterial species composition will provide important insights into the factors controlling the species composition of the bacterial community in lakes and will improve our ability to predict bacterial responses to both abiotic and biotic environmental changes
