We investigated the survival mechanism of the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. CM10 in the
presence of a flagellate predator. The bacterium had been isolated from a continuous …

A bstract The defense strategy of the aquatic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. MWH1 against
flagellate grazing was investigated in chemostat and batch experiments. The influence of …

The influence of grazing by the bacterivorous nanoflagellate Ochromonas sp. strain DS on
the taxonomic and morphological structures of a complex bacterial community was studied …

We studied the effects of 2 bacterivorous protistan predators on the phenotypic and
taxonomic successions of an experimental bacterial community growing in continuous …

We compared the influences of grazing by the bacterivorous nanoflagellate
Poterioochromonas sp. strain DS on ultramicrobacterial Actinobacteria affiliated with the …

ABSTRACT Ultramicrobacteria (cell volume< 0.1 μm3) are the numerically dominant
organisms in the plankton of marine and freshwater habitats. Flagellates and other protists …

Predation and competition are two main factors that determine the size and composition of
aquatic bacterial populations. Using a simplified bacterial community, composed of three …

Bacteria are major utilizers of dissolved organic matter in aquatic systems. In coastal areas
bacteria are supplied with a mixture of food sources, spanning from refractory terrestrial …

Abstract Mesocosms (∼ 4.5 m 3) situated in a closed bay area were used to investigate the
effect of protozoan predation on nonindigenous bacteria. Pseudomonas fluorescens strain …

Besides controlling bacterial production, bacterivorous protists are thought to govern
bacterial community structure. Experimental work has shown that both grazers and bacteria …
