Significance of predation by protists in aquatic microbial food webs

EB Sherr, BF Sherr - Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2002 - Springer
Predation in aquatic microbial food webs is dominated by phagotrophic protists, yet these
microorganisms are still understudied compared to bacteria and phytoplankton. In pelagic …
