Relative diversity and community structure of ciliates in stream biofilms according to molecular and microscopy methods.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 2009

Dopheide Andrew, Lear Gavin, Stott Rebecca, Lewis Gillian

Abstract excerpt

Ciliates are an important component of aquatic ecosystems, acting as predators of bacteria and protozoa and providing nutrition for organisms at higher trophic levels. Understanding of the diversity and ecological role of ciliates in stream biofilms is limited, however. Ciliate diversity in biofilm samples from four streams subject to different impacts by human activity was assessed using microscopy and terminal...
