Harmful algal blooms (HABs) significantly influence biogeochemical cycles driven by bacteria. The shifts in microbial communities during HABs have been studied intensively, but the assembly mechanisms of microbial communities during HABs are poorly understood, with limited investigation of the balance of deterministic and stochastic processes in shaping microbial communities in HABs. In this study, the dynamics and assembly of microbial communities in an early-spring diatom bloom process were investigated. Our data both confirm previously observed general microbial successional patterns and show new detailed mechanisms for microbial assembly in HABs. These results will facilitate deeper understanding of the ecological processes shaping microbial communities in HABs. In addition, predictions of metabolic potential in this study will facilitate understanding of the influence of HABs on nitrogen metabolism in marine environments.
