Plant–microbe interaction in aquatic system and their role in the management of water quality: a review (2017, background): “…cycling (nitrification, denitrification, sulfate reduction, methanogenesis and metal ion reduction) and energy flow in aquatic ecosystem, as a feed of the zooplanktons, altering water quality and degrading the environmental pollutants (Cotner and Biddanda 2002; Battin et al. 2003; Hahn 2006).”
Phytoplankton nutrient competition under dynamic light regimes (2004, background): “In case of algal–bacterial competition, two competing species will likely have not only the different maximum cellular uptake rates (higher in algae under light; Cotner and Biddanda 2002) but different half-saturation constants for uptake as well (lower in bacteria; Cotner and Biddanda 2002).”
Temperature and the chemical composition of poikilothermic organisms (2003, background): “2. Temperature effects on nutrient content likely have important ramifications for understanding biogeochemical cycling and trophic dynamics in environments with strong temperature gradients ( Cotner & Biddanda 2002 ).”
Does nutrient enrichment decouple algal–bacterial production in periphyton? (2008, methodology): “In fact, COVPS–BBP,AFDM was greatest in the most nutrient-poor streams, and this result is similar to a model proposed for planktonic microbial communities (Cotner and Biddanda 2002).”
Enhanced phytoplankton and bacterioplankton production coupled to coastal upwelling and an anticyclonic eddy in the Ulleung basin, East Sea (2008, positive): “The community structure of plankton by size and species composition associated with a trophic gradient largely determines the downward flux of particulate organic C (Karl 1999, Cotner & Biddanda 2002).”
Cascading predation effects of Daphnia and copepods on microbial food web components (2003, background): “Because bacteria mediate key pathways in global biogeochemical cycles we should assume that factors controlling biomass, production and turnover rates of microorganisms are also factors that regulate key functions at the ecosystem level ( Cotner & Biddanda, 2002 ).”
Macroecological limits of heterotrophic bacterial abundance in the ocean (2004, background): “Along a resource or productivity gradient, there is an intermediate point where the decreasing intensity of autotrophic–osmoheterotrophic coupling is matched by the increasing intensity of phagotrophic–osmoheterotrophic coupling (Cotner and Biddanda, 2002).”
Comparison of pelagic food webs in lakes along a trophic gradient and with seasonal aspects: influence of resource and predation (2004, background): “The role of the microbial fraction within the food web can change with lake productivity (Bird and Kalff, 1984; Riemann and Søndergaard, 1986; Weisse, 1991b; Cotner and Biddanda, 2002) and within the annual cycle (Weisse and Müller, 1998).”
Nitrogen and phosphorus co‐limitation of bacterial productivity and growth in the oligotrophic subtropical North Atlantic (2008, background): “These experiments support the idea that the low concentration of inorganic nutrients and proportionately higher concentration of organic matter in oligotrophic systems favors prokaryotic heterotrophs (Cotner and Biddanda 2002).”
Carbon‐nitrogen coupling and algal‐bacterial interactions during an experimental bloom: Modeling a 13C tracer experiment (2004, background): “These include enzymatic hydrolysis of particulate material through bacteria (Smith et al. 1992), sloppy feeding and incomplete digestion by grazers (Jumars et al. 1989), and bacterial mortality after viral lysis (Cotner and Biddanda 2002).”
Nitrogen Retention, Removal, and Saturation in Lotic Ecosystems (2005, background): “The resulting response to chronic loading is an increase in both dissolved inorganic N concentrations and export, as in lakes along a productivity gradient ( Cotner and Biddanda 2002 ).”
