Abstract

Highlights of new, interesting, and emerging research findings on substratum‐associated microbiota covered from a survey of 2019 literature from primarily freshwaters, provide insight into research trends of interest to the Water Environment Federation and others interested in benthic, aquatic environments. Coverage of topics on bottom‐associated or attached algae and cyanobacteria, though not comprehensive, includes new methods, taxa new to science, nutrient dynamics, auto‐ and heterotrophic interactions, grazers, bioassessment, herbicides and other pollutants, metal contaminants, and nuisance, bloom‐forming and harmful algae. Coverage of bacteria, also not comprehensive, focuses on the ecology of benthic biofilms and microbial communities, along with the ecology of microbes like Caulobacter crescentus, Rhodobacter and other freshwater microbial species. Bacterial topics covered also include metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, toxins and pollutants, bacterial pathogens and bacteriophages, and bacterial physiology. Readers may use this literature review to learn about or renew their interest in the recent advances and discoveries regarding substratum‐associated microbiota.
