Abstract: | Background Plants and their heterotrophic bacterial biofilm communities possibly strongly interact, especially in aquatic systems. We
aimed to ascertain whether different macrophytes or their habitats determine bacterial community composition. We compared
the composition of epiphytic bacteria on two common aquatic macrophytes, the macroalga Chara aspera Willd. and the angiosperm Myriophyllum spicatum L., in two habitats, freshwater (Lake Constance) and brackish water (Schaproder Bodden), using fluorescence in situ hybridization. The bacterial community composition was analysed based on habitat, plant species, and plant part. |
