Responses of phytoplankton and related microbial communities to changes in the limnological conditions of shallow lakes: a short-term cross-transplant experiment

We performed a short-term cross-transplant experiment (72 h) using dialysis bags in two shallow lakes with contrasting regimes (clear-vegetated and phytoplankton-turbid). We assessed the changes in the structure of the microbial planktonic communities in response to the variations in the limnologica...

Community structure Cross-transplant experiment Microbial plankton Shallow lakes Turbid and clear regimes We performed a short-term cross-transplant experiment (72 h) using dialysis bags in two shallow lakes with contrasting regimes (clear-vegetated and phytoplankton-turbid).

Important changes were observed in >2 µm-phytoplankton composition in the two transplanted communities (from clear-vegetated to turbid and vice versa).

Heterotrophic bacteria biomass increased in the transplanted treatment from the clear to the turbid system, probably due to a higher availability of more labile sources of dissolved organic carbon (DOC).
