Role of productivity and protozoan abundance for the occurrence of predation-resistant bacteria in aquatic systems.

Abstract excerpt

Top-down control of lower trophic levels, e.g., bacteria, has been suggested to increase along aquatic productivity gradients. The response by the bacterial community may be to become more predation resistant in highly productive environments. To test this hypothesis, samples were taken from 20 a...
