Fig. 4

Amount of daphnia- and leaf-derived carbon of a bacterial PLFA 16:1ω9 and b eukaryotic PLFA 18:2ω6,9 based on the PLFA-specific 13C isotopic analysis. A two-source isotope-mixing model was applied to estimate for single PLFAs the proportion of carbon derived from either daphnia or leaves. Isotopic values could not be measured for every sample due to the low concentrations of PLFAs. Thus, grey bars indicate samples for which we have no 13C values. D:L: daphnia and leaves in a given ratio with a complex microbial community; b-DL1:1: daphnia and leaves (ratio 1:1) with a bacterial community only.
