Coupling between heterotrophic nanoflagellates and bacteria in fresh waters: does latitude make a difference?

Coupling between heterotrophic nanoflagellates and bacteria in fresh waters: does latitude make a difference?

Recent studies reported comparatively lower heterotrophic bacteria (HB) abundances in tropical regions, indicating that factors involved in bacterial losses could be more relevant in the tropics. Heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) are considered the main predators of HB in aquatic ecosystems, and o...
