Phosphorus (P) supply (concentration and flux) is an important driver for biological activity in
flowing waters and needs to be managed to avoid eutrophication impacts associated with …

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) consist of a variety of compounds
extensively used for the treatment of human and animal diseases and for health or cosmetic …

In detritus‐based ecosystems, autochthonous primary production contributes very little to the
detritus pool. Yet primary producers may still influence the functioning of these ecosystems …

Microbial communities associated with submerged detritus in aquatic ecosystems often
comprise a diverse mixture of autotrophic and heterotrophic microbes, including algae …

River biofilms that grow on wet benthic surface are mainly composed of bacteria, algae,
cyanobacteria and protozoa embedded in a polysaccharide matrix. The effects of increased …

Well‐documented in terrestrial settings, priming effects describe stimulated heterotrophic
microbial activity and decomposition of recalcitrant carbon by additions of labile carbon. In …

Algae are higher-quality food resources than allochthonous plant litter for stream
invertebrates, in part, because of their higher content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) …

We have studied the differences in the organic matter processing and biofilm composition
and structure between autoheterotrophic and heterotrophic biofilm communities. Microbial …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have greatly improved water quality globally.
However, treated effluents still contain a complex cocktail of pollutants whose environmental …

Microbial interactions play an essential role in aquatic ecosystems and are of the great
interest for both marine and freshwater ecologists. Recent development of new technologies …
