Initial	3.0	87.2
Control	3.9 ± 0.2^a	243.6 ± 102.2^a
+Mn	2.9 ± 0.7^a	193.7 ± 45.2^a

Both were determined via flow cytometry at the beginning and the end of the experiment from the communities sampled West and East after exposure to different Fe and Mn availabilities. Values represent the mean ± SD (n = 6). Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments (p < 0.05).
