Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is the proportion of assimilated carbon that is converted
into biomass and reflects the balance between growth and energetic demands. Often …

Marine and freshwater prokaryotes feed primarily on bioavailable labile dissolved organic
carbon (BDOCL), as well as the bioavailable fraction of the semilabile DOC (BDOCSL) pool …

Phosphate limitation has been suggested as a preventive method against biofilms. P-limited
feed water was studied as a preventive strategy against biofouling in cooling towers (CTs) …

The current trend of increasing input of terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC)
to boreal freshwater systems is causing increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) …

The interactions between phytoplankton, bacteria and resources, irradiance, and nutrients,
leading to the formation of deep chlorophyll maxima (DCMs), are little understood in acid …

Abstract In Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, external pollutant loads have decreased
since the 1980s, leading to improved water quality, such as reduction in biochemical oxygen …

This study investigates the origin of dolomite by examining thick lacustrine sequences of
evaporites, mudstones, and deep-water sublacustrine fan sandstones in the lower unit of the …

Algal water blooms in lakes or reservoirs are often caused by an enrichment of phosphorus.
Depending on a bottom environment, dissolved phosphorus (phosphate) can be released …

Bamboo, as a pioneer vegetation, often forms forests on bare lands after catastrophic
landslides. Compared to evergreen forest soil, bamboo forest soil is much more labile, with a …

DNA barcoding along with molecular phylogeny can be used for taxonomic identification,
characterization, discovery of species and understanding molecular relationships especially …
