The role of microorganisms in mobilization and fixation of phosphorus in sediments
R Gächter, JS Meyer - Proceedings of the third international workshop on …, 1993 - Springer
Cycling of phosphorus (P) at the sediment/water interface is generally considered to be an
abiotic process. Sediment bacteria are assumed to play only an indirect role by accelerating …

The carbohydrates of Phaeocystis and their degradation in the microbial food web
The ubiquity and high productivity associated with blooms of colonial Phaeocystis makes it
an important contributor to the global carbon cycle. During blooms organic matter that is rich …

Effects of photoperiod on nutrient removal, biomass production, and algal-bacterial population dynamics in lab-scale photobioreactors treating municipal wastewater
Abstract Effects of photoperiod were investigated in lab-scale photobioreactors containing
algal-bacterial consortia to reduce organic nutrients from municipal wastewater. Under three …

Small players, large role: microbial influence on biogeochemical processes in pelagic aquatic ecosystems
Although prokaryotes are small in size, they are a significant biomass component in aquatic
planktonic ecosystems and play a major role in biogeochemical processes. A review of the …

Diversity predicts stability and resource use efficiency in natural phytoplankton communities
The relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functioning has been debated for
decades, especially in relation to the “macroscopic” realm (higher plants and metazoans) …

Influence of water column anoxia on the burial and preservation of carbon and phosphorus in marine shales
Organic P and organic C concentrations were measured in several well-characterized
Phanerozoic marine shale sequences with the primary focus being the Camp Run Member …

The effect of temperature and algal biomass on bacterial production and specific growth rate in freshwater and marine habitats
We analyzed heterotrophic, pelagic bacterial production and specific growth rate data from
57 studies conducted in fresh, marine and estuarine/coastal waters. Strong positive …

The uptake of inorganic nutrients by heterotrophic bacteria
DL Kirchman - Microbial Ecology, 1994 - Springer
It is now well known that heterotrophic bacteria account for a large portion of total uptake of
both phosphate (60% median) and ammonium (30% median) in freshwaters and marine …

Relation between sedimentation rate and burial of organic phosphorus and organic carbon in marine sediments
Organic carbon and organic phosphorus concentrations in marine sediment cores with
known sedimentation rates were determined and collected from the literature. With the …

Closing the microbial loop: dissolved carbon pathway to heterotrophic bacteria from incomplete ingestion, digestion and absorption in animals
A new extension of digestion theory and re-interpretation of published empirical evidence
suggest that the principal pathway of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from phytoplankton to …
