Description

We examined the particle-attached and free-living microbial communities from coastal seawater at the Pivers Island Coastal Observatory (PICO) monthly from July 2013-August 2014. Partial 16S rRNA gene libraries were used to identify bacteria found in four size fractions of seawater >63m (zooplankton and large particles), 63-5m (particles), 5-1m (small particles/ dividing cells) and <1m (free-living bacteria).
