Conceptual model of the potential outcome of this study. We hypothesized that bacterioplankton responses in community composition and metabolic activity would follow pathway B; red arrows, i.e., replacement of OTUs, leading to changes in community composition and functioning. Our null-hypothesis is therefore pathway A; black arrows; i.e., adjustment of OTUs, leading to unchanged community composition and bacterial community functioning.
