Microalgae–Bacteria Interactions Phytoplankton exudates can be important substrates for bacteria, problems like sensitivity to herbicides (Sanchez-Ferandin et al., especially in early phytoplankton bloom conditions (Fouilland 2013) or tolerance to polluants like arsenic (Zhang et al., 2013). et al., 2013) although other carbon sources might also be Despite the wealth of genomic data available for this species important for bacterial growth (Fouilland and Mostajir, 2010). In (Derelle et al., 2006; Blanc-Mathieu et al., 2014), the bacterial turn, some bacteria are known to inhibit or promote microalgal community associated with the O. tauri phycosphere is poorly growth (Cole, 1982; Fukami et al., 1997; de-Bashan et al., 2004). understood, and the nature of the interactions between O. tauri The volume of water closely surrounding algal cells in which and bacteria remains an open question (Abby et al., 2014). many metabolic exchanges may occur, is called the phycosphere Here, we focus on the nature and dynamics of the microbiome (Bell and Mitchell, 1972). It is analogous to the rhizosphere in of O. tauri RCC4221 across a large range of culture conditions. soils and it has direct implications for nutrient fluxes to and Surprisingly, we provide evidence that bacteria from one single from algal cells (Amin et al., 2012b).

Epiphytic bacteria adhere to the microalgal surface (Bell MATERIALS AND METHODS and Mitchell, 1972; Shapiro et al., 1998) with a tight functional association (Middelboe et al., 1995; Smith et al., 1995; Grossart Ostreococcus tauri RCC4221 Culture in et al., 2005). Endophytic bacteria are able to develop inside Different Conditions microalgal cells and have been seen in Chlorophyta (Kawafune Ostreococcus tauri strain RCC4221 was isolated in 1994 et al., 2012). Both commensalism and/or competition for from the North-West Mediterranean Thau lagoon (Courties micronutrients may occur between phytoplankton and bacteria et al., 1994) and maintained in the laboratory (cultures and (Bratbak and Thingstad, 1985; Amin et al., 2012a).

Both L1-MOLA (de-Bashan et al., 2008) like auxin (Gonzalez and Bashan, 2000). and F/2-ESAW were produced by adding nitrogen (NaNO3), In contrast, bacteria can even kill the algae by the secretion of phosphorus (NaH2PO4) and vitamins (B1, B12, and H) but algicidal compounds (Mayali and Azam, 2004). at different concentrations (Supplementary Table S1). Only Some studies demonstrated the presence of specific L1-MOLA was prepared from seawater, collected from 20 m bacterial communities associated with algal blooms in marine below sea level at the MOLA station and kept several weeks environments (Gonzalez et al., 2000; Buchan et al., 2014). in the dark before use. The seawater was filtered through In axenic (i.e., exempt of bacteria) microalgal monocultures, 0.22 mm and autoclaved. For nutrient limitation experiments, microalgal growth may be unstable and prone to perturbation four conditions were tested: L1-MOLA, F/2-ESAW, F/2-ESAW (Kazamia et al., 2014), highlighting again the importance 50%N (half nitrogen concentration), and F/2-ESAW 10%P (one of microalgalbacterial interactions, not only
