Abstract
aggregates, as well as trade-off effects between microbial abundances and activities. Environmental conditions further improved the levels of relative activities and affected community assembly mechanisms in phycospheric communities. The relationships among microbial activities, abundances, and environmental conditions improve our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of microbial activities in cyanobacterial aggregates and also provide a novel clue for studying determinants of microbial activities in other ecosystems.
