Proposed inclusion of AAP bacteria in the PEG model. Annual succession patterns of microbial communities for (A) Phytoplankton and zooplankton according to original PEG model in oligotrophic scenario (Sommer et al., 1986), and (B) monthly averaged annual succession pattern of AAP abundance in CEP lake, phytoplankton dynamics through Chl-a, and of bacterial abundance. Trend lines are normalized to maxima and minima values for each variable, light transparent areas indicate 95% confidence interval
