Neglect of Presence of Bacteria Leads to Inaccurate Growth Parameters of the Oligotrich Ciliate Strombidium sp. During Grazing Experiments on Nanoflagellates
Oligotrich ciliates play a key role in linking microbial food webs to the traditional grazing food chain. Hence, the numerical (growth) and functional (grazing) responses of oligotrich ciliates are very important issues in studies of marine ecosystems. Most oligotrich ciliates feed mainly on nanofla...
