Response of heterotrophic bacteria, autotrophic picoplankton and heterotrophic nanoflagellates to re-oligotrophication Norbert Kamjunke, Dietmar Straile, Ursula Gaedke J Plankton Res 2009; 31 (8): 899-907. doi: 10.1093/plankt/fbp037 Overall, bacterial biomass did not change during re-oligotrophication, whereas chlorophyll-specific biomass of bacteria increased, APP biomass and phosphorus concentration showed a unimodal pattern and HNF biomass strongly declined with decreasing […]

Red fish, blue fish: trade-offs between pigmentation and immunity in Betta splendens
Red fish, blue fish: trade-offs between pigmentation and immunity in Betta splendens Ethan D. Clotfelter, Daniel R. Ardia, Kevin J. McGraw Red fish, blue fish: trade-offs between pigmentation and immunity in Betta splendens. Behavioral Ecology 2007; 18 (6): 1139-1145. doi: 10.1093/beheco/arm090 At a very basic level, the fact that dietary supplementation with carotenoids enhances both immunity and coloration […]
Life without a cell membrane: Challenging the specificity of bacterial endophytes within Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta)
Life without a cell membrane: Challenging the specificity of bacterial endophytes within Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) BMC Microbiology 2011 11:255 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2180-11-255 Once again a link about the pest algae Bryopsis. This algae tends to plague many unstable reef aquariums. After someone treating a fungal infection in fish coincidentally noticed Bryopsis die-off in their tank, folks have been using fluconazole to treat […]
STEROL AND FATTY ACID COMPOSITIONS OF A MARINE ALGA BRYOPSIS PENNATA (BRYOPSIDOPHYCEAE, CHLOROPHYTA)
STEROL AND FATTY ACID COMPOSITIONS OF A MARINE ALGA BRYOPSIS PENNATA (BRYOPSIDOPHYCEAE, CHLOROPHYTA) Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 7(1): 73-82, January, 1994 This is a major pest algae in home salt water aquaria. Folks have been using fluconazole to treat it. Apparently the theory is that it’s acting in some way to block ergosterols from […]
