Daphnia is a freshwater microcrustacean that integrates the zooplankton. Different species
are cultivated in the laboratory and used as model organisms in several areas of research …

The nutritional quality of daphnids diet can influence their growth, reproduction and survival.
In aquatic ecosystems, bacteria can contribute significantly to Daphnia diet by supporting, for …

The daily use of the planctomycete Rhodopirellula rubra as an alternative or supplementary
food source for Daphnia magna and its feasibility in the nutrition of transgenerational …

Daphnia magna is widely used as a standard organism in ecotoxicology assays. It plays a
key role in energy transfer in freshwater food webs as a primary consumer, grazing on …

Bacteria can comprise a large fraction of seston in aquatic ecosystems and can therefore
significantly contribute to diets of filter-feeding zooplankton. To assess the effect of three …

Background: In the wild various organisms contribute to daphnids diet. This study, intendeds
to evaluate the potential of the concentration of Rhodopirellula rubra as a single or …

Bacteria can be an important resource for zooplankton production in aquatic food webs,
although the degree to which bacteria sustain zooplankton growth and reproduction is not …

In this paper we describe the life history consequences of feeding Daphnia galeata with
different food types in different concentrations. We fed the animals with four concentrations …

The possibility of the bottled natural mineral waters use as a media for keeping of the highly
sensitive test-culture of Daphnia magna Straus as alternative to the synthetic medium has …

We tested the influence of different types of food on the fitness of Daphnia longispina during
