Recruitment of Microcystis dormant from the upper sediment is a critical stage in its life history and plays an important role in forming blooms. However, little is known about the benthic bacteria associated with recruitment of Microcystis cells in sediment. To investigate the relationship between the recruitment of dormant Microcystis and bacterial flora in the upper sediment, we detected and comparatively analyzed the density of bacteria and the abundance of Microcystis dormant in the upper sediment in Lake ChongTian, situated to the west of...
