Low microbial density on kelp blades from a declining kelp population at Squaxin Island. A and B Whole mount FISH showing sparse bacteria on the mid-blade kelp surface. C Cross section in which no dense biofilm was observed on the surface, but a few bacteria were visible. Strong autofluorescence of kelp cells was observed. D, E, and F are enlarged images of the dashed squares in (A), (B), and (C), respectively
