The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Microbial ecology of organic aggregates in aquatic ecosystems (2002, methodology): “Generally, they are positively correlated to the aggregate size (Alldredge & Gotschalk 1990, Grossart & Ploug 2000).”
Microbial dynamics on diatom aggregates in Øresund, Denmark (2003, background): “Previous measurements showed that net bacterial growth efficiencies on detrital aggregates are up to 0.5 ± 0.1 (Grossart & Ploug 2000, 2001).”
Dynamics of organic‐aggregate‐associated bacterial communities and related environmental factors in Lake Taihu, a large eutrophic shallow lake in China (2010, background): “Microscopic and metabolic studies have revealed that attached bacteria are often larger, more abundant, and capable of much higher rates of cellular uptake of sugars and amino acids than are free-living bacteria (Grossart and Ploug 2000; Grossart et al. 2007).”
Microbial oceanography of the dark ocean's pelagic realm (2009, background): “Grossart and Ploug (2000) report a growth efficiency of bacteria associated with fresh aggregates of 0.4–0.5, close to the values of bacteria growing on labile substrates (del Giorgio and Cole 1998).”
