Determination of the sedimentary microbial biomass by extractible lipid phosphate.
TL;DR: The high content of plasmalogen phospholipids in these sediments suggests that the anaerobic prokaryotic Clostridia are found in the aerobic sedimentary horizon, which would require anaer aerobic microhabitats in the aerated zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of fluorochromes for direct enumeration of total bacteria in environmental samples: past and present.
R L Kepner,J R Pratt +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the use of 3,6-bis[dimethylamino]acridinium chloride (acridine orange) and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) stain for direct enumeration of bacteria is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of Deposit-Feeding Animals in Marine Sediments
TL;DR: The idea that microbes attached to sediment and detritus particles constitute the major food source for deposit feeders is being replaced by more complex models that incorporate interactions between animals and the food sources in the sedimentary matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial lipids of an intertidal sediment—I. Fatty acids and hydrocarbons
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study was made of the solvent extractable monocarboxylic, dicarboxylated and hydroxylated fatty acids and n-alkanes in a surface intertidal sediment, and the distributions compared to microorganisms cultured from the sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acids of bacterial origin in contemporary marine sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the fatty acids from a tropical marine sediment selected because of its high biomass content is reported, and relationships between the sedimentary extracts of the surface layer to fatty acid components of bacteria cultured from the sediment sample are detailed.

Fundamentals of ecology
TL;DR: This book discusses the role of energy in Ecological Systems, its role in ecosystem development, and its implications for future generations of ecologists.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of detritus in the nutrition of two marine deposit feeders, the prosobranch hydrobia ulvae and the bivalve macoma balthica
TL;DR: It is suggested that the rapid increase in population density of Hydrobia ulvae and Macoma balthica, and by inference of other deposit-feeders, towards regions of fine-grained deposits is attributable to the increase in density of the micro-organism population.
