Temporal and Spatial Survey on the Abundance of Amoebae and Bacteria in an Estuary and the Role of Environmental Parameters. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepFree‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.
