Recent evidence suggests a key role of bacterioplankton in shaping the composition of the
dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool in aquatic systems, not only through consumption but …

The kinetics and elemental composition of cellular units that mediate production and
respiration are the basis for the metabolic and stoichiometric theories of ecological …

The highly adaptive nature of prokaryotic communities in the face of changing environmental
conditions reflects in part their ability to share advantageous genetic information through …

Respiration rates are fundamental to understanding ecosystem C flux; however, respiration
remains poorly characterized in polar oceans. The Circumpolar Flaw Lead (CFL) study …

In many streams, microbial growth largely relies on terrigenous organic carbon that has
been initially stored in soils and that is generally believed to be recalcitrant to microbial …

Gravel excavation often bears conflicts with the use of drinking water as under-water-table
mining can directly impact groundwater quality downstream of the open gravel pit lake due …

The organic carbon consumed by aquatic bacteria (BCC) is partitioned between bacterial
production (BP) and respiration (BR), but the factors that determine BCC and its partition into …

Lakes and reservoirs typically emit CO2to the atmosphere as a result of respiration in excess
of primary production. For reservoirs, this respiration is often assumed to be primarily of …

Data from 7 mesocosms with a gradient in daily nutrient loading rate (LN) and inverse
modelling were used to estimate all C, N and P flows in an idealised food web. The gradient …

Fecal indicator bacteria, such as total coliforms and E. coli, are a challenge to control in
urban and rural stormwater runoff. To assess the challenges of improving bacterial water …
