Fig. 4: Carbon processing during the course of blooms.

A Phytoplankton—DOM—bacteria carbon flux network for the start and +28 days of 2009 spring bloom. See Fig. 2 legend. Flux cut off is 0.3%. B Cell concentrations, growth rate and relative carbon processing for s11 and pol for 2009 spring bloom. C Fraction of DOM processed by oligotrophic bacteria and exudate fraction in DOM pool for all blooms. Oligotrophs are defined based on literature as shown in Table S23 or based on below-average growth rates (kg). For the later, the oligotrophic fraction or weight given for type i, is based on fOLIi = kgAVEn / (kgAVEn + kgin), n = 5. kg is the net growth rate calculated from biomass change, plus dilution rate.
