Text S1. Preparations of HS- and AOM-impacted bulk waters (reactor influents)
The concentrated HS stock solution was prepared by dissolving 1 gram of humic acid
(Sigma Aldrich, MO, USA) into 50 mL DI water. The concentrated AOM stock solution was
prepared using concentrated cyanobacteria-laden water samples from Lake Erie with five cycles
of freeze-thaw steps to obtain AOM according to the USEPA Method 545. AOM and HS stock
solutions were added into jar test beakers which contained 2 L of filtrated tap water (TOC ~0
mg/L) collected from a GAC (Calgon Carbon, PA, USA) column. Next, 8 mL of aluminum
sulfate stock solution (10,000 mg/L) was added as a coagulant to each beaker. Then, jar tests
were conducted following the steps: rapid mixing at 200 rpm for 1 minutes, slow mixing at 25
rpm for 30 minutes, and no mixing for 1 hour to simulate the coagulation, flocculation, and
sedimentation processes. The supernatants were then collected from each beaker, and 2 mg/L of
ozone were applied for 5 minutes using a lab-scale ozonator (OZOTECH, CA, USA). Then,
TOC concentrations were measured for the ozonated water samples and the final concentration
was adjusted to 1.5 mg/L.

Text S2. EEM analysis
The collected water samples were filtered through 0.45 µm hydrophilic polyethersulfone
membrane filters (EMD Millipore, MA, USA). Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM)
spectra were recorded in triplicates using a spectrofluorophotometer (RF-6000, Shimadzu,
Japan). Excitation wavelengths were scanned from 200 nm to 500 nm at 5-nm increments;
Emission wavelengths were scanned from 220 nm to 560 nm at 2-nm increments. The obtained
fluorescence EEM spectra were processed by parallel factor (PARAFAC) analyses using a
drEEM 4.0 toolbox (Murphy et al. 2013) built in MATLAB (MathWorks, Natick, MA) with the
non-negativity constrains method. For PARAFAC analyses, the wavelength ranges were
restricted from 250 nm to 450 nm for excitations and from 270 nm to 560 nm for emissions.
Blank corrections, Raman and Rayleigh scattering removals, inner-filter corrections were
finished following the preprocessing steps implemented in the drEEM. A final of five
components model was developed as illustrated in Fig. S2 and Table S1. The model was
validated using split-half method (Murphy et al. 2013, Stedmon and Bro 2008). The Fmax value
calculated by the component maximum fluorescence intensity multiplied by its score (Murphy et
al. 2013) was assumed to be proportional to the real concentrations of the corresponding
component (Borisover et al. 2009).

Text S3. Biofilm staining and CLSM imaging
Bacterial cells in the biofilm matrix were stained with SYTO 9. Protein contents in the
biofilm EPS were labeled with SYPRO orange. Polysaccharide contents in the biofilm EPS were
visualized by applying a mixture of ConA Alexa 633 and WGA Alexa 633 (Thermo Fisher
Scientific Inc., MA, USA) stains, which specifically targets the polysaccharides (α-
mannopyranosyl and α-glucopyranosyl residues, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and N-
acetylneuraminic acids) in biofilms (Marchal et al. 2011). The stained biofilms were incubated in
the dark room for 20 minutes. Then, biofilm images were collected using a CLSM at 20X
magnification with a scan speed of 600 Hz (Xue et al. 2014). The image collection gates were set
at the 488 nm excitation wavelength and recorded at 551-602 nm for SYPRO orange and 504-
547 nm for SYTO 9, respectively. ConA and WGA stains were excited at 633 nm and recorded at
646-704 nm. Z-stacks were acquired in the 512 × 512 format with 2 μm z-step size.

Text S4. Statistical analyses
Principle coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on the weighted UniFrac distance matrix was
applied to compare the bacterial community compositions among samples. The significant
factors ((envfit) function, {Vegan} package, RStudio software) were later added to PCoA plot to
visualize the impacts of bulk water characteristics on the bacterial community changes (Oksanen
et al. 2015). Analysis of Similarity (ANOSIM) test based on the weighted UniFrac distance
matrix was performed to evaluate the significant differences among sample groups (permutation
= 999). The ANOSIM statistic R is a value ranged from -1 to 1 and the closer to 1 indicates a
higher degree of separation between groups (Ramette 2007). Similarity Percentage analysis
(SIMPER) based on the Bray-Curtis distance matrix was conducted to identify the OTUs
primarily contributing to the dissimilarities between sampling groups (PAST 3). The Spearman’s
rank correlation coefficient (ρ) ranged from -1 to 1 was used to evaluate the correlations between
two biofilm structural parameters. The correlations between two parameters are high when the ρ
closed to -1 or 1.
