Differential association of key bacterial groups with diatoms and Phaeocystis spp . during spring blooms in the Southern Ocean

Résumé

Abstract Interactions between phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria significantly influence the cycling of organic carbon in the ocean, with many of these interactions occurring at the micrometer scale. We explored potential associations between specific phytoplankton and bacteria in two size fractions, 0.8–3 µm and larger than 3 µm, at three naturally iron‐fertilized stations and one high nutrient low chlorophyll station in the Southern Ocean. The composition of phytoplankton and bacterial communities was determined by sequencing the rbcL gene and 16S rRNA gene from DNA and RNA extracts, which represent presence and potential activity, respectively. Diatoms, particularly Thalassiosira , contributed significantly to the DNA sequences in the larger size fractions, while haptophytes were dominant in the smaller size fraction. Correlation analysis between the most abundant phytoplankton and bacterial operational taxonomic units revealed strong correlations between Phaeocystis and picoeukaryotes with SAR11, SAR116, Magnetospira , and Planktomarina . In contrast, most Thalassiosira operational taxonomic units showed the highest correlations with Polaribacter , Sulfitobacteria , Erythrobacter , and Sphingobium , while Fragilariopsis , Haslea , and Thalassionema were correlated with OM60, Fluviicola , and Ulvibacter . Our in‐situ observations suggest distinct associations between phytoplankton and bacterial taxa, which could play crucial roles in nutrient cycling in the Southern Ocean.
