Even though it is widely accepted that bacterioplankton growth in lakes and marine
ecosystems is determined by the trophic status of the systems, knowledge of the relationship …

The potential for using marine microbes for biodiscovery is severely limited by the lack of
laboratory cultures. It is a long‐standing observation that standard microbiological …

The culturability of abundant members of the domain Bacteria in North Sea bacterioplankton
was investigated by a combination of various cultivation strategies and cultivation …

Using the MicroDrop® microdispenser system, a novel approach for high throughput
cultivation assays for the determination of numbers of culturable bacteria, and for the …

ABSTRACT Enrichment experiments with North Sea bacterioplankton were performed to test
if rapid incubation-induced changes in community structure explain the frequent isolation of …

Bacterial growth occurs in noncarbonated natural mineral waters a few days after filling and
storage at room temperature, a phenomenon known for more than 40 years. Using the full …

We investigated seasonal differences in community structure and activity (leucine
incorporation) of the planktonic bacterial assemblage in the freshwater and brackish-water …

Dilution cultures are a common technique for measuring the growth of bacterioplankton
communities. In this study, the taxonomic composition of marine bacterioplankton dilution …

We tested new strategies for the isolation of abundant bacteria from coastal North Sea
surface waters, which included reducing by several orders of magnitude the concentrations …

Marine bacteria in Resurrection Bay near Seward, Alaska, and in the central North Sea off
the Dutch coast were cultured in filtered autoclaved seawater following dilution to extinction …
