    Recurring patterns in bacterioplankton dynamics during coastal spring algae blooms

    Hanno Teeling, Bernhard M Fuchs ... Rudolf I Amann
    Dynamic successive blooms of clades of planktonic marine bacteria that can be observed during blooms of marine algae follow discernible patterns, part of which might be explained by substrate-induced forcing.
