to evaluate how changes in available C affected the biomass pool size,
membership and structure of planktonic and biofilm communities.
Our results suggest that C subsidies increased heterotroph biomass in both
plankton and biofilm communities as predicted. C
input amendments also
resulted in decreased photoautotroph biomass in the plankton community,
but there was no significant change in biofilm photoautotroph biomass
between resource treatments. Although the DOC concentration in the highest

treatment levels and both timepoints. While we did not (could not) specifically
measure niche diversity within the biofilm communities our results suggest that
the biofilm habitat selected for unique members of the photoautotroph and
bacterioplanktonic heterotrophic community that were in low abundance in the planktonic
habitat but readily became major constituents of the biofilm community.

mineral nutrients from a larger heterotroph community, however there was not
a similar decrease in biofilm photoautotroph community. In addition membership
of the photoautotroph communities between the plankton and biofilm lifestyles
did not become more similar in the photoautotrophs as it did for the
bacteria bacterial heterotrophs
in the highest C treatment. Consistent with a growing body of work our results
suggest that complex environmental biofilms are a unique microbial community
that form from taxa that are found in low abundance in the neighboring
communities. This membership was affected by
resource C amendments for
heterotrophic but not autotrophic microbes and then only in the most extreme
resource environment. This suggests that lifestyle is a major division among
environmental microorganisms and although biofilm forming microbes must travel
