Figure 2.
Morphological characteristics of Fucus sp., Laminaria sp. and Ulva sp. biofilms. Overview images (left) representatively show the morphological differences between the epiphytic biofilm communities on the surfaces of the different algae. Close-ups (right) indicate bacteria which showed budding reproduction by arrowheads, possibly being members of the phylum Planctomycetes. Scale bar: 2 µm.
