Grazing rate estimates indicate that approximately half of the bacterivory in oligotrophic
oceans is due to mixotrophic flagellates (MFs). However, most estimations have considered …

The seasonal variation in the grazing effect of mixotrophic flagellates on bacterioplankton
was assessed during an annual cycle in an oligotrophic coastal station in the northwest …

After strong fertilization in the 20th century, many deep lakes in Central Europe are again
nutrient poor due to long-lasting restoration (re-oligotrophication). In line with reduced …

The alternative nutritional strategies in protists that were addressed during the symposium
by that name at the 2010 annual meeting of the International Society of Protistologists and …

Eukaryotic phytoplankton form the basis of aquatic food webs and play a key role in the
global carbon cycle. Many of these evolutionarily diverse microalgae are also capable of …

Shallow lakes often alternate between two possible states: one clear with submerged
macrophytes, and another one turbid, dominated by phytoplankton. A third type of shallow …

The effects of large cascade dams on eukaryotic plankton communities in freshwater river-
reservoir ecosystems are probably uncharted in previous studies. The purpose of this …

Bacterivory among small (≤ 20 μm) phytoflagellates (SP) is increasingly recognized as a
globally relevant phenomenon, impacting a wide range of aspects from primary production …

Methane oxidation was studied in mesotrophic lake water (Lake Biwa, Japan) under
thermally stratified conditions. Methane oxidation rates at in situ concentrations were very …

We tested the influence of two light intensities [40 and 300 μmol PAR/(m2s)] on the fatty acid
composition of three distinct lipid classes in four freshwater phytoplankton species. We …
