GLOBAL OBJECTIVES

Assess diversity, diversity, dynamics, dynamics, and interactions to better understand functioning and structuring processes within microbial trophic food webs

and in fine understand global pelagic food web functioning

DYNAMICS DYNAMICS

Low Inter annual variability in dynamics of microbial communities (cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, Virus Like Particles) with seasonal succession repeated from one year to another

Specificities linked to the trophic status of the systems : picocyanobacteria dynamics, microbes abundances , proportion of mixotrophic taxa … Maximal abundance of viruses in October suggesting a viral termination of bacterial blooms in autumn

TROPHIC TROPHIC LINKS LINKS

Investigating Trophic Links and Structuring Factors Using experimental approaches 1. Predation impacts size – dependent trophic interactions were examined using a size fractionnation approach at various periods Principle : Truncate the food web at various predator sizes and measure the response of microbes
