Whether the primary role of bacterioplankton is to act as "remineralizers" of nutrients or as direct nutritional source for higher trophic levels will depend on factors controlling their production and abundance.

Microzooplankton grazing was measured with the dilution method in the central and southern sectors of the Indian River Lagoon during summer 2006 and 2007. Microzooplankton actively grazed phytoplankton during all experiments. Grazing rates averaged (± SD)

Microzooplankton grazing on cyanobacteria in Vancouver Lake, Washington, USA
Many studies have examined microzooplankton (20-200 µm) grazing impacts on phytoplankton using dilution experiments in marine systems, but few have been conducted in shallow temperate lakes. I conducted 16 dilution experiments (April 2008 - January 2009)
