Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial methane production in oxygenated water column of an oligotrophic lake
TL;DR: Temporal and spatial uncoupling between methanogenesis and methanotrophy was supported by field and laboratory measurements, which also helped explain the oversaturation of methane in the upper water column.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms and rates of bacterial colonization of sinking aggregates.
TL;DR: Quantifying the rate at which bacteria colonize aggregates is a key to understanding microbial turnover of aggregates and suggests that inter- and intraspecific interactions among bacteria and between bacteria and their predators may be more important than colonization in governing the population dynamics of bacteria on natural aggregates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of cell-specific activity between free-living and attached bacteria using isolates and natural assemblages.
TL;DR: Increased protease activity and BPP allow attached bacteria to quickly exploit aggregate resources upon attachment, which may accelerate remineralization of marine snow and reduce the downward carbon fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of Microbial Communities on Marine Snow Aggregates: Colonization, Growth, Detachment, and Grazing Mortality of Attached Bacteria
TL;DR: Differences between observed and predicted population dynamics suggest, however, that other factors, e.g., antagonistic interactions between bacteria, are of importance in shaping marine snow microbial communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial colonization of particles: Growth and interactions
TL;DR: The results show that growth- and species-specific interactions have to be taken into account to adequately describe bacterial colonization of marine particles.
