phnJ abundances in heterotrophic bacteria of different fractions of bloom samples from two freshwater lakes. A Environmental parameters values and relative phnJ abundance of three orders of bacteria in Taihu Lake and Dianchi Lake in Microcystis blooms at different time periods. B Schematic of the protocol used to separate Microcystis aggregates containing consortia bacteria from free-living bacteria. C–E Relative abundance of phnJ gene in three orders of phycospheric bacteria and free-living bacteria in Taihu Lake and Dianchi Lake at different times. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
