Our study focuses on bacterial communities associated with two benthic, epiphytic dinoflagellates, Gambierdiscus australes and Ostreopsis cf. ovata , isolated from coastal waters of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, and grown in clonal cultures. The goal was to characterize the stable bacterial consortia found within the phycosphere of each dinoflagellate species and establish into which functional group they fell. High‐throughput seq...
