Effects of phosphorus loading on interactions of algae and bacteria: reinvestigation of the 'phytoplankton-bacteria paradox' in a continuous cultivation system
TL;DR: The phytoplankton-bacteria paradox at the level of a mixed microbial assemblage is characterised by the following aspects: bacteria profit from their high affinity to P and are better competitors at lower LP; although algae compete with bacteria for P, P-limited algae release extracellular C that stimulates growth of their bacterial competitors; this provides a feedback mechanism by which algae limit the abundance of their competitors at higher LP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life at the freezing point.
Roland Psenner,Birgit Sattler +1 more
TL;DR: In their Research Commentary, Psenner and Sattler discuss results reported in the same issue by Priscu et al. in which a microbial assemblage was discovered in Antarctic lake ice, indicating pockets of liquid water can form during part of the year allowing active growth and reproduction of organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and diversity of autotrophic bacteria in groundwater systems based on the analysis of RubisCO genotypes.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that autotrophic bacteria with the capability to assimilate CO2 via the Calvin Cycle pathway are widespread inhabitants of groundwater systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth rates of dominant planktonic ciliates in two freshwater bodies of different trophic degree
TL;DR: The in situ growth rates of dominant ciliate species were studied during and shortly after phytoplankton peaks in two water bodies: the eutrophic Ri'mov Reservoir (South Bohemia, Czech Republic) and the oligo-mesotrophic Piburger See (Tyrol, Austria).
