Significance of bacteriophages for controlling bacterioplankton growth in a mesotrophic lake.
Bacterium-specific viruses have attracted much interest in aquatic microbial ecology because they have been shown to be about 10 times more abundant than planktonic bacteria. So far most of the studies of interactions of planktonic bacteria and viruses have been done in marine environments, and very little is known about these interactions in lakes. Therefore, we studied phage proliferation in ...
متن کاملFaster growth of the major prokaryotic versus eukaryotic CO2 fixers in the oligotrophic ocean
Because maintenance of non-scalable cellular components--membranes and chromosomes--requires an increasing fraction of energy as cell size decreases, miniaturization comes at a considerable energetic cost for a phytoplanktonic cell. Consequently, if eukaryotes can use their superior energetic resources to acquire nutrients with more or even similar efficiency compared with prokaryotes, larger u...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Ocean Circulation
The past 30 years have witnessed a rapid evolution of circulation theory. Much of the progress can be attributed to the intuition and physical balance that have emerged from the use of simple models that isolate important processes. Major contributions along these lines were made by Stommel, Welander, and others. An excellent presentation of the ideas together with a number of significant advan...
متن کاملTemporal and spatial scales of variation in bacterioplankton assemblages of oligotrophic surface waters
Marine bacterioplankton dominate microbial carbon biomass in surface waters of the oligotrophic ocean, yet there have been few studies examining rates of change in bacterioplankton assemblage composition in situ over time and across water masses. Temporal changes in bacterioplankton assemblage composition were investigated during 7 drifter studies of 24 to 360 h duration in the oligotrophic Gul...
متن کاملUnusual bacterioplankton community structure in ultra-oligotrophic Crater Lake
The bacterioplankton assemblage in Crater Lake, Oregon (U.S.A.), is different from communities found in other oxygenated lakes, as demonstrated by four small subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid (SSU rRNA) gene clone libraries and oligonucleotide probe hybridization to RNA from lake water. Populations in the euphotic zone of this deep (589 m), oligotrophic caldera lake are dominated by two phylog...
