Factors which influence the attachment of bacterioplankton to particles (including phytoplankton) were investigated by using (i) water samples removed from a coastal temperate fjord over an annual cycle and (ii) unialgal cultures ofProrocentrum minimum, Dunaliella tertiolecta , andSkeletonema costatum . Silt and salinity levels in this fjord seawater did not appear to influence bacterial attachment, but the percent attached bacteria was inversely related to both chlorophylla concentrations and primary productivities. During periods of high primary productivities the percent attached bacteria was low, whereas during periods of low, increasing, and declining primary productivities the percent attached bacteria was high. A similar pattern of bacterial attachment was observed when the three phytoplankton were grown as batch cultures. The percent attached bacterial numbers increased upon the initiation of algal growth and after these cells stopped growing, but not while the algae were growing. We suggest that a major factor influencing the attachment of bacterioplankton is the physiological condition of their major nutrient source, the phytoplankton; mainly free-living bacteria are associated with growing phytoplankton, whereas a much greater proportion of the bacteria are attached among senescent phytoplankton populations.
