Towards a better understanding of microbial carbon flux in the sea (2008, background): “Recent estimates of the ratio of nonplastidic flagellates to total flagellates in various marine areas suggest that it is 5:1 (Jürgens & Massana 2008), and one study in a coastal oligo-mesotrophic area showed that, year-round, 50% of bacterial flux to heterotrophic flagellates goes through the…”
Emerging concepts on microbial processes in the bathypelagic ocean-ecology, biogeochemistry, and genomics (2010, background): “Heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) are a phylogenetically highly diverse functional group of protists and dominate grazing of prokaryotes in marine surface waters (Jürgens and Massana, 2008).”
