Results of transplantation experiment II. Water from Pond-1 was transplanted into a garden pond at day 0. F10 bacteria were not detected in the pond before the transplantation but represented about 10% of the PnecC bacteria immediately after the transplantation. The small graph presents cell numbers of F10 bacteria determined by qPCR assays in transplantation experiment I (green symbols) and II (blue symbols) in a semi-logarithmic plot. Lines represent linear regressions of data, respectively. Note the faster decline of cell numbers in experiment I, which was characterized by higher average water temperatures (Table 1).
