It may be worth reframing to consider some of limitations to the approach and factor in some of the ways in which abiotic and biotic factors simply cannot be fully decoupled. For example, if Chlamy is differentiating into a gamete in the 12 day vs 3 day (a known physiological change triggered by nitrogen starvation), how would this change your interpretation of whether biotic and abiotic effects were fully decoupled? Likewise, bacteria in stationary phase (and possibly Chlamy, too?) may be upregulating production of specialized metabolites which can have inhibitory effects on community composition.

This is a really impressive and large experiment that clearly took a lot of time and resources. I imagine many folks interested interspecies interactions, particularity between algae and bacteria would be interested in looking at this data.. It seems like this would be a rich resource to answer many different questions. Maybe we missed this - but are the 16s data deposited anywhere to enable reuse?
