\section{Introduction}  Biofilms are diverse and complex microbial consortia that are the rule rather than the exception for microbial lifestyle in many environments. Large and small-scale architectural features of biofilms play an important role in their ecology and influence their role in localized biogeochemical cycles \cite{17170748}. While fluid mechanics have been shown to be important drivers of biofilm structure and assembly \cite{hoedl_2011,19571890, 14647381}, it is less clear how other abiotic factors such as resource availability affect biofilm assembly. Biofilms Aquatic biofilms  are initiated with seed propagules that originate within the planktonic community \cite{hoedl_2011, 22120588}. Thus, how resource amendments influence planktonic communities should has the potential to  influence the formation of microbial biofilms during community assembly. In a crude sense, biofilm and planktonic microbial communities can be broken into two key groups: phototrophic eukaryotes (hereafter algae) and heterotrophic bacteria and archaea. This dichotomy, while somewhat artificial, has been shown to be a powerful paradigm for understanding community shifts across ecosystems of varying trophic state \cite{Cotner_2002}. Heterotrophic bacteria meet some to all of their organic C requirements from algal produced C while simultaneously competing with algae for limiting nutrients such as P. The presence of external C inputs, such as terrigenous carbon leaching from the watershed \cite{Jansson_2008, Karlsson_2012} or C exudates derived from macrophytes \cite{Stets_2008, Stets_2008b}, can alleviate bacterioplankton reliance on algal derived carbon and shift the relationship from commensal and competitive to strictly competitive (\citet{Stets_2008}, Figure 1). Under this mechanism increased carbon supply should increase the resource space available to the bacteria and lead to increased competition for P, decreasing P available for algal biosynthesis algae  – assuming that bacteria are superior competitors for P as has been observed (\citet{COTNER_1992}, Figure 1). These dynamics should result in the increase in bacterial biomass relative to the algal biomass along a gradient of increasing labile carbon inputs. While these gross level dynamics have been discussed conceptually \cite{Cotner_2002} and to some extent  demonstrated empirically \cite{Stets_2008}, the effect that these shifts in the bulk biomass pool have on membership and structuries structure  of the algal and bacterial community has not been directly  evaluated in plankton planktonic  or biofilms. biofilm communities.  In addition, how dynamics in planktonic communities are propagated to biofilms during community assembly is not well understood. Intuitively, shifts in planktonic community composition should alter the available pool that can be recruited into a biofilm. Therefore, For example,  if bacterioplankton diversity increases, the number of potential bacterial species taxa  that can be recruited to the biofilm should also increase, potentially increasing bacterial diversity within the biofilm. Similarly, a decrease in P available to algae should decrease algal pool size, potentially decreasing algal diversity and therefore candidate algal taxa that are available for biofilm formation. In addition, carbon in excess of resource requirements may increase the production of extra cellular polysaccharides (EPS) by planktonic cells thus increasing the probability that planktonic cells are incorporated into a biofilm by adhesion. If alpha diversity increases with increasing biomass pool size, each of  these mechanisms suggest that an increase in labile carbon to the system should result in increased alpha diversity in both bacterial plankton and bacterial biofilm communities while decreasing alpha diversity within both planktonic and biofilm algal communities. To address evaluate  these ideas we designed this study to test a) if carbon subsidies shifted the biomass balance between autotrophs and heterotrophs within the biofilm or its seed pool (the plankton) and b) measure  how these putative changes in pool size altered membership and structure of the plankton communities and affected recruitment of plankton during biofilm community assembly.
