A global diatom database – abundance, biovolume and biomass in the world ocean [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2012 Phytoplankton identification and abundance data are now commonly feeding plankton distribution databases worldwide. This study is a first attempt to compile the largest possible body of data available from different databases as well as from individual ...

Visualisation and biovolume quantification in the characterisation of biofilm formation in Mycoplasma fermentans [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The ability of mycoplasmas to persist on surfaces has been widely acknowledged, despite their fastidious nature. However, the organism’s capability to form a recognisable biofilm structure has been identified more recently.

A Simple yet Accurate Method for the Estimation of the Biovolume of Planktonic Microorganisms
PLoS ONE, 2016 Determining the biomass of microbial plankton is central to the study of fluxes of energy and materials in aquatic ecosystems. This is typically accomplished by applying proper volume-to-carbon conversion factors to group-specific abundances and ...

Biovolume and surface area calculations for microalgae, using realistic 3D models.
Science of The Total Environment, 2021 Morphology and spatial dimensions of microalgal units (cells or colonies) are among the most relevant traits of planktic algae, which have a pronounced impact on their basic functional properties, like access to nutrients or light, the velocity of sinking or tolerance to grazing.

Zooplankton Biomass in Ponds - Determination of Biovolume and Dry Weight [PDF]
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2023 The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using simple screening methods to determine zooplankton biomass in ponds. Among the applicable methods, we selected sedimentation determination of wet biomass and dry biomass determination. Of the 369 samples analysed, the median volumetric zooplankton biomass was 0.012 ml.l-1 and the median dry ...

Relationships between Biovolume and Biomass of Naturally Derived Marine Bacterioplankton. [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987 Microscopic estimation of bacterial biomass requires determination of both biovolume and biovolume-to-biomass conversion. Both steps have uncertainty when applied to the very small bacteria typically found in natural seawater. In the present study, natural bacterioplankton assemblages were freshly collected, passed through 0.6-μm-pore-size

Community-driven variations in snow algae color modulate snow albedo reduction. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Snow algae blooms visibly alter snow color and surface energy balance, yet the biological basis of this variability remains unclear. We investigated how pigment composition and community structure shape the optical properties of snow algae blooms of distinct colors – red, orange, and green – co‐occurring within the same snowfield in Glacier ...
