Direct and indirect effects of protist predation on population size structure of a bacterial strain with high phenotypic plasticity.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jan 2006

Corno Gianluca, Jürgens Klaus

Abstract excerpt

We studied the impact of grazing and substrate supply on the size structure of a freshwater bacterial strain (Flectobacillus sp.) which showed pronounced morphological plasticity. The cell length varied from 2 to >40 microm and encompassed rods, curved cells, and long filaments. Without grazers and with a sufficient substrate supply, bacteria grew mainly in the form of medium-sized rods (4 to 7 microm), with a...
