The role of nutrients in decomposition of a thecate dinoflagellate Tamar Zohary, Hans Güde, Utsa Pollingher, Bina Kaplan, Riki Pinkas, Ora Hadas Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2000, Pages 123–130 DOI: 10.4319/lo.2000.45.1.0123 PDF Available. Because of the low N and P content of thecae (C:N:P atomic ratios >3000:19: 1) relative to protoplasts (276 :51:1), the microbial […]
Hyperparasitism of trichodinid ciliates on monogenean gill flukes of two marine fish A. Colorni*, A. Diamant Dis Aquat Org 65: 177–180, 2005, Published June 30 doi:10.3354/dao065177 Full PDF is (also) available on the Int-Res link above! Under perturbed environmental conditions, specificity between fish hosts and their parasitic fauna often breaks down (Rohde 1982, Thoney & […]
Role of elevated organic carbon levels and microbial activity in coral mortality David I. Kline, Neilan M. Kuntz, Mya Breitbart, Nancy Knowlton, Forest Rohwer Marine Ecology Progress Series, Vol. 314 (May 22 2006), pp. 119-125 Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/24870119 PDF available Here we experimentally show that routinely measured components of water quality (nitrate, phosphate, ammonia) do […]
The Ecological Role of Water-Column Microbes in the Sea Marine Ecology Progress Series, January 1983 DOI: 10.3354/meps010257 PDF Available This article gives some insight into the ecology we are missing when we try to control algae blooms with carbon dosing. It’s not even close to a simple bacteria vs algae contest, or bacteria-to-skimmer export that […]
