Nutrient supply after algal bloom determines the succession of the bacterial population
Description: What exactly happens if an algal bloom ends? To answer that question researchers examined an algal bloom in the North Sea and were able to identify the role that the microorganisms play in the degradation of algal remnants and to gain insight into the degradation processes. And they discovered that some of these processes proceed differently than hitherto assumed. [Source: Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research]
