It has been estimated that globally some 500 X 1012 kg of carbon dioxide are assimilated
into biomass by autotrophic organisms annually. More than 99% of this assimilated carbon …

As early as 1956, Rigler reported that heterotrophic bacteria were responsible for a large
share of the uptake of inorganic phosphorus (P) in Toussant Lake (Rigler, 1956). Tracer …

The effects of inorganic nutrients (P and N), organic C, and metazoan zooplankton on
bacterioplankton production and abundance and on phytoplankton biomass were studied in …

We carried out enclosure experiments in an unproductive lake in northern Sweden and
studied the effects of enrichment with different dissolved organic carbon (glucose)/inorganic …

Bacterial abundance results from predatory losses of individuals and replacement of losses
through growth. Growth depends on sustained input of organic substrates and mineral …

In light of recent suggestions concerning the relaxation of controls on phosphorus loading in
Lake Erie, and in consideration of our current lack of baseline information on microbial …

Water-column mixing is known to have a decisive impact on plankton communities. The
underlying mechanisms depend on the size and depth of the water body, nutrient status and …

The aim of this research was to determine the main limiting nutrient (carbon, nitrogen or
phosphorus) to bacterial production in different clear water Amazonian ecosystems during …

Limitation of bacterioplankton production by nutrients and temperature was investigated in
eight temperate lakes in summer. Six of the lakes were resampled in autumn. The lakes …

The emergence of antibacterial resistance (ABR) is an urgent and complex public health
challenge worldwide. Antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) are considered as a new pollutant …
