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 …

Bacteria are major consumers of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic systems. In
coastal zones, bacteria are exposed to a variety of DOM types originating from land and …

Recent observations of natural bacterial communities show high genetic diversity in organic
carbon uptake systems (microdiversity) and specificity in substrate species taken up. This …

A phytoplankton bloom and decay sequence was created in 2 laboratory containers and
mesozooplankton was added to one container before the peak of algal biomass. Each day …

The aim of this study was to explore the variation and regulation of bacterial carbon
processing at a coastal oligotrophic site of the Island of Majorca in the Mediterranean Sea. In …

Seawater cultures were used to study seasonal and diel variations in bacterial growth and
nutrient availability. In both the Baltic Sea and the Northeast Mediterranean, the least …

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 …

We explored how marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) altered by bacterial growth and
protozoan grazing modify the metabolism of Southeastern Cantabrian Sea (CS) and NW M …

Bacteria have been usually assumed to play a major role in regeneration processes or in
conversion of refractory compounds into bacterial biomass. Recent studies have shown that …

Using flow cytometry (FCM), microbial populations were followed in a mesoscosm
experiment manipulated with daily additions of mineral nutrients (as phosphates and nitrates …
