Abstract
Cladophora represents a microscopic forest that provides many ecological niches fostering a diverse microbiota, with a complex and intimate relationship between Cladophora and bacteria. Many studies have focused on the microbiology of freshwater Cladophora , but the composition and succession of microorganisms in different life stages of Cladophora , especially in brackish water, have not been explored.
