Marine phytoplankton blooms are annual spring events that sustain active and diverse
bloom-associated bacterial populations. Blooms vary considerably in terms of eukaryotic …

Understanding how ecosystems store or release carbon is one of ecology's greatest
challenges in the 21st century. Organic matter covers a large range of chemical structures …

Bacterial remineralization of algal organic matter fuels algal growth but is rarely quantified.
Consequently, we cannot currently predict whether some bacterial taxa may provide more …

In detritus‐based ecosystems, autochthonous primary production contributes very little to the
detritus pool. Yet primary producers may still influence the functioning of these ecosystems …

Microbial food web organisms are at the base of the functioning of pelagic ecosystems and
support the whole marine food web. They are very reactive to environmental changes and …

Previous studies have demonstrated that bacteria influence microalgal metabolism,
suggesting that the selection and characterization of growth-promoting bacteria should offer …

Cells and organisms, both autotrophs and heterotrophs, commonly face imbalanced access
to and uptake of elements relative to their requirements. C is often in excess relative to key …

Understanding microbial communities in terms of taxon and function is essential to decipher
the biogeochemical cycling in aquatic ecosystems. Lakes and their input streams are highly …

Ictalurid catfish grown in ponds often acquire undesirable off‐flavors prior to harvest. Off‐
flavors develop when odorous, lipophilic substances in food or water are absorbed across …

This study evaluated how the availability of nutrients and organic carbon interact to influence
the associations between autotrophic and heterotrophic micro‐organisms during lake biofilm …
