Dynamics of silicon metabolism and silicon isotopic discrimination in a marine diatomas a function of pCO2 (2004, methodology): “These effects act in concert with other factors such as the influence of bacteria on silica dissolution (Bidle and Azam 2001).”
Microbial ecology of organic aggregates in aquatic ecosystems (2002, background): “Bidle & Azam (2001) analyzed the bacterial community on aggregates of diatom detritus by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA fragments and found distinct temporal colonization patterns with a dominance of γ-Proteobacteria and Sphingobacteria/ Flavobacteria.”
Pelagic functional group modeling: Progress, challenges and prospects (2006, unknown): “Detrital (SiO2)bio dissolves 5–10 times faster than diatom (SiO2)bio because living diatoms protect the silica in their cell walls with an organic coating that can be degraded by bacterial attack after the cell dies (Bidle and Azam, 1999, 2001).”
Effects of rising temperature on the formation and microbial degradation of marine diatom aggregates (2009, background): “This rate is 3 times higher than previously found in studies that were conducted at temperatures 5 or 10°C higher than the present study (Bidle & Azam 2001, Moriceau et al. 2007).”
