M~crobial processes are now perceived to be an important component of the marlne food chaln Mathematical models present a quantltatlve means of analys~ng lnterspecles lnteract~ons within food webs Although detalled models of i n d ~ v ~ d u a l components of the m~crobial food web (bacteria, phytoplankton, protozoan predators) have been denved, t hen incorporation into large-scale food web mode...
متن کاملMicrobial food webs and the export of biogenic carbon in oceans
Microbial food webs, which comprise phototrophic picoplankton (or ultraplankton), heterotrophic bacteria and protozoa, are ubiquitous in marine waters. Members of the microbial food web may play various roles in the export of biogenic carbon. For example, it has been postulated that high bacterial activity may sometimes prevent a significant fraction of the production by large phytoplankton fro...

متن کاملDispersed Oil Disrupts Microbial Pathways in Pelagic Food Webs
Most of the studies of microbial processes in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill focused on the deep water plume, and not on the surface communities. The effects of the crude oil and the application of dispersants on the coastal microbial food web in the northern Gulf of Mexico have not been well characterized even though these regions support much of the fisheries production in the Gu...
متن کاملFood webs
Ecosystems, whether they are forests, lakes or coral reefs, consist of a diverse range of species that interact with each other in many ways. As ecologists we want to understand how these complex systems function as a whole and how they respond to human impacts such as harvesting and environmental change. A mechanistic understanding of the underlying biological processes will allow us to predic...
