Bacterial oligotype diversity of 16S-V6 rRNA amplicon sequences obtained for taxa that dominated inside (left graphs) and outside (right graph) the Phaeocystis surface bloom. Surface and deep samples were obtained at sites with dense ice cover at the shelf break (Shelf), inside the Amundsen Sea polynya and in open waters adjacent to the Dotson glacier (Dotson) during a Phaeocystis antarctica bloom in 2010–2011. Panels at top of each graph denote the relative contribution of a taxon within each dataset; the “★” symbols denote deep (>350 m) samples. Oligotypes detected at low abundance (n < 200) in the dataset were removed from the analysis.
