Abstract excerpt
Heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNFs) are an essential component of all aquatic microbial food webs, and yet the exploration of the numerical and single-cell responses of these organisms in mixed assemblages still represents a major technical challenge. LysoTracker Green staining combined with flow cytometry was recently proposed for the enumeration of aquatic HNFs. Here we show that LysoTracker Green not only...
