TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed to improve the management of nutrient sources in Lake Taihu by improving the lake's shallowness and reducing the discharge of non-point pollution from rural areas.

TL;DR: Salinity was found to be the dominating environmental factor controlling BCC in the investigated lakes, resulting in only small overlaps in the BCCs of freshwater and hypersaline lakes, and ecologically significant differences in ecophysiological adaptations among members of this narrow phylogenetic group suggested ecological significance of microdiversity.

TL;DR: This work provides general guidance on how much overestimation can be introduced when applying 16S rRNA gene-based methods, due to its intragenomic heterogeneity, but also recommends that, for bacteria, this overestimation be minimized using primers targeting the V4 and V5 regions.

TL;DR: The first freshwater members of the class Actinobacteria that have been isolated from five freshwater habitats in Europe and Asia are described and it is demonstrated that at least one of the ultramicrobacteria isolated is protected against predation by the bacterivorous nanoflagellate Ochromonas sp.

TL;DR: The filtration-acclimatization method enables the isolation and cultivation of an important fraction of the bacterial diversity, which is not cultivable by standard methods, and amongst the taxa obtained by the standard method no taxon was closer related to an uncultured bacterium than to an isolate, while 56% of theTaxa isolated by FAM were closely related to uncultures.
