biofilm communities as predicted. Carbon subsidies also resulted in decreased
photoautotroph biomass in the plankton community, but there was no significant
change in photoautotroph biomass of the biofilm communities among resource
treatments.
Although the DOC concentration in the highest C treatment was
significantly higher than the other treatments the concentrations we measured
were in the range of those reported in natural marine ecosystems
\citep{Mopper1980} and it is has been noted that glucose concentrations in
coastal marine ecosystems may fluctuate over several orders of magnitude
\citep{Alonso2006}. The changes in the biomass pool size that did occur were
consistent with changing relationships (commensal to competitive) between the
autotrophic and heterotrophic components of the plankton communities but not
necessarily of the biofilm communities. While we recognize that other
mechanisms may drive the shift in biomass pool size of these two components of
the microbial community (e.g. increased grazing pressure on the algae with
C additions, or production of secondary metabolites by the bacteria that
inhibit algal growth) previous studies \cite{Stets_2008,Cotner_2002} and the
data reported here suggest that altered nutrient competition is the most
parsimonious explanation for this shift in biomass pool size.

the biomass pool size of each community we explored how shifts in resource C
