Fate of heterotrophic microbes in pelagic habitats: focus on populations.
Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR - 1 Sept 2005
Pernthaler Jakob, Amann Rudolf
Abstract excerpt
Major biogeochemical processes in the water columns of lakes and oceans are related to the activities of heterotrophic microbes, e.g., the mineralization of organic carbon from photosynthesis and allochthonous influx or its transport to the higher trophic levels. During the last 15 years, cultivation-independent molecular techniques have substantially contributed to our understanding of the diversity of the...
