Structure-Function Covariation of Phycospheric Microorganisms Associated with the Typical Cross-Regional Harmful Macroalgal Bloom.

ABSTRACT: Unravelling the structure-function variation of phycospheric microorganisms and its ecological correlation with harmful macroalgal blooms (HMBs) is a challenging research topic that remains unclear in the natural dynamic process of HMBs. During the world's largest green tide bloom, causative macroalgae Ulva prolifera experienced dramatic changes in growth state and environmental conditions, providing ideal scenarios for this investment. Here, we assess the phycospheric physicochemical characteristics, the algal host's biology, the phycospheric bacterial constitutive patterns, and the functional potential during the U. prolifera green tide. Our results indicated that (i) variation in the phycosphere nutrient structure was closely related to the growth state of U.
