Livestock farms are a propagating source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via the
discharge of animal waste carrying resistant bacteria. Groundwater is widely used in …

This chapter examines the estuaries within the Southern Brazilian Marine Ecoregion (SBE),
a coastline of some 850 km in the tropical-temperate transition zone of the extreme southern …

Bacterial community composition (BCC) has been extensively related to specific
environmental conditions. Tropical coastal lagoons present great temporal and spatial …

Anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria can be found in the suboxic waters of shallow
stratified coastal systems, and may play important roles in the total primary production of …

The Conceição Lagoon, located in south Brazil, is a semi-enclosed coastal ecosystem that
has seasonal hypoxic and anoxic conditions in its vertically stratified central region …

Coastal lagoons are natural features of the coasts of all continents consisting in shallow
water bodies that are continuously or intermittently connected to the sea. They are typically …

To understand the dynamics of planktonic prokaryotes in a subtropical lake and its
relationship with carbon, we conducted water sampling through four 48-h periods in Peri …

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that p CO 2 and air–water CO 2 fluxes in the surface
waters of a subtropical lake vary on two time scales (diel and seasonally) and that CO 2 …

AIM: Estimating bacterioplankton density and biomass and their regulating factors is
important in order to evaluate aquatic systems' carrying capacity, regarding bacterial growth …

To examine the extent of the microbial food web in suboxic waters of a shallow subtropical
coastal lagoon, the density and biomass of bacteria and protozooplankton were quantified …
