Picophytoplankton populations [Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus (SYN), and
picoeukaryotes] are dominant primary producers in the open ocean and projected to …

The dilution technique is the most widely used method to estimate microzooplankton
herbivory in aquatic systems. This technique relies on the assumption that during the …

The uptake of 3H‐labeled leucine into proteins, a widely used method for estimating
bacterial carbon production (BCP), is suggested to underestimate or overestimate bacterial …

The response of heterotrophic bacterioplankton to the addition of macrophytic dissolved
organic matter (DOM) and temperature was investigated in the Red Sea. We added 40 μ mol …

Abstract Phaeocystis pouchetii (Hariot) Lagerheim, 1893 regularly dominates phytoplankton
blooms in higher latitudes spanning from the English Channel to the Arctic. Through …

The dilution method is typically applied to estimate the growth and mortality rates of
phytoplankton, but it is also used to study bacterioplankton. The method comprises creating …

Phytoplankton play crucial roles in aquatic ecosystems, serving as the foundation of marine
food webs and being responsible for~ 50% of the world's oxygen production. Predation by …

The grazing activities of phagotrophic protists on various microbial assemblages play key
roles in determining the amount of carbon available for higher trophic levels and for export …

Vital rates, including growth responses to environmental variability, are poorly characterized
for the diverse taxa of heterotrophic bacteria (HBact) in marine ecosystems. Here, we …

Microzooplankton grazing is widely recognized as an important process of heterotrophic
prokaryote and phytoplankton biomass removal. However, few studies have specifically …
