Description: |
Because microbial biofilms rapidly reflect environmental changes, the authors investigated the quantitative (C, N and chlorophyll a contents) and qualitative (microbial community composition) parameters and metabolic responses (O2 fluxes) of biofilms established on glass slides to combinations of manipulated water temperatures (26, 29 and 31°C), nitrate (0.5, 1.0 and 1.4 µM), and light availabilities (40 and 200 µmol photons m−2 s−1) in a 28 d flow-through aquarium experiment.
