Résumé
The freshwater microbiome harbours numerous copiotrophic bacteria that rapidly respond to elevated substrate concentrations. We hypothesized that their high centimetre‐scale beta diversity in lake water translates into pronounced metabolic variability, and that a large fraction of microbial ‘metabolic potential’ originates from point sources such as fragile organic aggregates. Three experiments were conducted in pre‐alpine Lake Zurich over the course of a harmful cyanobacterial bloom: Spatially explicit 9 ml ‘syringe’ samples were collected in situ at centimetre distances along with equally sized ‘mixed’ samples drawn from pre‐homogenized lake water and incubated in BIOLOG EcoPlate substrate arrays. Fewer compounds promoted bacterial growth in the syringe than in the mixed samples, in particular during the pre‐ and late bloom periods. Community analysis of enrichments on three frequently utilized substrates revealed both pronounced heterogeneity and functional redundancy. Bacterial consortia had higher richness in mixed than in syringe samples and differed in composition. Members of the Enterobacter cloacae complex dominated the EcoPlate assemblages during the mid‐bloom period irrespective of treatment or substrate. We conclude that small‐scale functional dispersal limitation among free‐living copiotrophs in lake water reduces local biotransformation potential, and that lacustrine blooms of harmful cyanobacteria can be environmental reservoirs for metabolically versatile potential pathogens.
