Diurnal Floc Generation from Neuston Biofilms in Two Contrasting Freshwater Lakes
Abstract
Selective adaptation of biofilm-forming bacteria to the nutrient-rich but environmentally challenging conditions of the surface microlayer (SML) or neuston layer was evident in littoral regions of two physically and geochemically contrasting freshwater lakes. SML bacterial communities (bacterioneuston) in these systems were depleted in Actinobacteria, enriched in either Betaproteobacteria or Gammaproteobacteria, and either unicellular …
