• Diversity and functions of microscopic fungi: a missing component in pelagic food webs (2010, background): “On aquatic macrophytes and leaf surface areas, fungal biomass generally exceeds that of bacteria, and typically represents about 90% of the total microbial biomass (Newell et al. 1989; Baldy et al. 1995; Komı́nková et al. 2000; Findlay et al. 2002).”
• Leaf litter decomposition and microbial activity in nutrient‐enriched and unaltered reaches of a headwater stream (2003, background): “sonication of leaf litter to dislodge bacteria (Velji & Albright, 1993; Weyers & Suberkropp, 1996; Komı́nková et al., 2000), underestimated bacterial populations by a factor of 10 in comparison with counts made from leaf material that was homogenised with a tissue grinder (unpublished data).”
• Interactions between stream fungi and bacteria associated with decomposing leaf litter at different levels of nutrient availability (2003, background): “…of recalcitrant leaf biopolymers (lignocellulose ), ability to outcompete bacteria in resource competition and emphasizes the major role of fungi in leaf litter decomposition in a wide range of freshwater ecosystems (Baldy et al. 1995, Suberkropp & Chauvet 1995, Komínková et al. 2000).”
• Microbial dynamics associated with leaves decomposing in the mainstem and floodplain pond of a large river (2002, background): “…observed in this study is consistent with results from investigations in other litter decomposition systems in freshwater (Findlay & Arsuffi 1989, Baldy et al. 1995, Newell et al. 1995, Suberkropp & Weyers 1996, Baldy & Gessner 1997, Komínková et al. 2000, Kuehn et al. 2000, Hieber & Gessner 2002).”
