Microbial interactions in marine water amended by eroded benthic biofilm: A case study from an intertidal mudflat

Abstract In shallow macrotidal ecosystems with large intertidal mudflats, the sediment–water coupling plays a crucial role in structuring the pelagic microbial food web functioning, since inorganic and organic matter and microbial components (viruses and microbes) of the microphytobenthic biofilm can be suspended toward the water column. Two experimental bioassays were conducted in March and July 2008 to investigate the importance of biofilm input for the pelagic microbial and viral loops. Pelagic inocula (
