FIG. 8.
Bacterial abundance (BN ml−1) as determined by epifluorescence microscopy at the end of each time interval BNdi + 2 (A) and bacterial abundance calculated as follows: BNdi + average HBPdi, di + 2 + average VLdi, di + 2 + BVdi (B), where i is 0, 2, 4, and 7 days. Values were calculated for each culture separately.
