Contrasting patterns in diversity and community assembly of bacterioplankton and three size fractions of protists in the South China Sea [PDF]
The microbial food web plays a critical role in marine ecosystems, composed of various cell sizes of microbial organisms. Here, high-throughput sequencing of the 16S and 18S rRNA genes was conducted to detect the community structure and distribution ...

Latitude- and depth-driven divergence in protist trophic strategies revealed by a machine learning model [PDF]
Protists are ubiquitous across the ocean, holding different roles in the food web depending on their trophic capabilities. Many protists are mixotrophs, which are capable of both photosynthesizing and ingesting prey.

Environmental factors affecting akinete germination and resting cell awakening of two cyanobacteria
Globally, cyanobacteria frequently cause blooms that outcompete other species in the waterbody, affecting the diversity, decreasing water exchange rates, and promoting eutrophication that leads to excessive algal growth.
