TL;DR: In this paper, a mesocosm experiment was performed to study the influence of nutrients on activity and diversity of bacterial assemblages from the Mediterranean Sea, and changes in the diversity of the predominant bacterial populations were monitored by DGGE fingerprinting of PCR products derived from 16S rRNA encoding genes.

TL;DR: The survival of allochthonous bacteria in aquatic systems is affected by biotic and abiotic environmental factors, and the influence of plasmids on bacterial survival, heterogeneous and contradictory results have been reported.

TL;DR: The degradation of these compounds in coastal waters was associated with an increase in bacterioplankton density, suggesting that the degradation takes place because the compound is used as a growth substrate.

TL;DR: In this article, a method based on the combination of several membrane potential related dyes, a membrane integrity dye and a redox probe was used to measure cell viability by flow cytometry and confocal laser microscopy.

TL;DR: Grazing had an effect on the taxonomic composition of bacterial communities by preferentially eliminating gamma-Proteobacteria, alpha-Proteinobacteria were preserved and it seems that some species from the genera Ruegeria and Cytophaga may have developed defence strategies to escape predation.
