Unfiltered water sampled in the Baltic Sea proper (BAL) and in the Bothnian Sea (BOT) was inoculated in triplicates at 1:20 ratio into sterile filtered autoclaved seawater media from these two stations. For re-transplant, samples from transplant microcosms were inoculated in triplicates at 1:20 ratio.
