Periphyton colonisation on artificial substrate (microscopic glass slides) was investigated from July to November 2007, in Lake Sakadas (Danube River floodplain Kopacki rit, Croatia). Two different stations were chosen due to different post - flood conditions. The aim of the study was to follow temporal changes of nematode community composition and trophic structure in relation to periphyton biomass and bacterial abundance. In bryozoan - dominated periphyton (Plumatella emarginata Allman, 1844) nematodes were represented by 86 and 87% of total associated invertebrate fauna at S1 and S2 respectively. Total nematode abundance (up to 600 ind. 10 cm[^-2] at one station and up to 1130 ind. 10 cm[^-2] at another station) correlated significantly with the abundance (meaured as CFUs - colony forming units) of copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria at one station (r = 0.963, 0.998, P <0.05) and with organic and inorganic content of periphyton at another station (r = 0.891, 0.899, P <0.05). Nematode trophic groups (epistrate feeders, chewers, detritus feeders and suction feeders) were equally developed at both stations except detritus feeders whose species richness and abundance were significantly higher at the S1. Epistrate feeders were the most abundant trophic group in nematode assemblages at both stations with Chromadorina bioculata being the dominant species. Change in dominance of epistrate feeders by chewers (Brevitobrilus stefanskii) and suction feeders (Crocodorylaimus sp.) coincided with the occurrence of flood pulse. Effect of flood pulse on nematode community structure was probably indirect, alterating concentration of dissolved oxygen which chromadorids are sensitive to. The structure of nematode community developed through time differs between investigated stations indicating high sensitivity to bacterial abundance, periphyton biomass and P. emarginata mats which made the habitat more diverse and patchy.
