| Notes | This is a fascinating, if highly technical, look at the relationship between bacterial communities and two species of eelgrass. This article recounts research on eelgrass and Japanese eelgrass in Netarts Bay. Although the eelgrass species are different, the authors found that the bacterial communities associated with roots, leaves and the water column were similar between the two species. On the other hand, the bacterial communities associated with leaves were very different from those associated with roots, and both differed from those in the water column. There is much information on how these communities support the plants. |
