Linking metagenomics to aquatic microbial ecology and biogeochemical cycles (2019, background): “Microbes are critical components of aquatic ecosystems, underpinning the provision of multiple ecosystem services (Azam and Malfatti 2007; Falkowski et al. 2008).”
Marine Biofilms: A Successful Microbial Strategy With Economic Implications (2018, background): “Nevertheless, considering that 1 µL of surface seawater may contain ca. 10,000 viruses; 1,000 bacteria; 110 cyanobacteria; 10 eukaryotic algae and 10 protists (Azam and Malfatti, 2007), not only cell-surface but also cell-cell interactions should influence adhesion.”
Mesopelagic zone ecology and biogeochemistry - a synthesis (2010, background): “Sampling methods should take into account pressure effects, the potential for non-random distribution of microbes (Azam and Malfatti, 2007) and metazoans, and the fragility of many taxa.”
Linkage between crustacean zooplankton and aquatic bacteria (2010, background): “Although both inhabit the same environment, they are often treated as separate functional units only indirectly connected via nutrient cycling and trophic cascades (Azam & Malfatti 2007).”
Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “Aggregation of small gel particles with larger particles and agglomeration with other materials, such as phytoplankton or detritus, bring attached bacteria to the large marine particles and aggregates such as marine snow (186).”
The multiple fates of sinking particles in the North Atlantic Ocean (2015, methodology): “In our conceptualization (Figure 1), the particle flux attenuation processes captured in kS,D,Z include (1) enzymatic solubilization [Azam and Malfatti, 2007] and (2) mechanical disaggregation, which transfer of sinking POC to the water column as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) or suspended POC (POCs”
The genomic basis of trophic strategy in marine bacteria (2009, background): “In addition, heterogeneity in ocean waters is not limited to gross differences in nutrient concentrations, but extends to microscale patchiness that occurs throughout the continuum of ocean nutrient concentrations (2).”
