Microbial interactions lead to rapid micro-scale successions on model marine particles
Particles of organic matter in the ocean harbour microbial communities that digest and recycle essential nutrients. Here, Datta et al.use model marine particles to show that the attached bacterial communities undergo rapid, reproducible successions driven by ecological interactions.
