Benthic foraminifera as trophic links between phytodetritus and benthic metazoans: carbon and nitrogen isotopic evidence (2008, background): “In field experiments at a continental shelf site, assimilation of phytodetritus by foraminifera was larger than that of bacteria (29.1 and 21.7%, respectively) during 35 h incubation, although their biomass was only a fraction of that of bacteria (Moodley et al. 2002).”
Carbon flows through a benthic food web: Integrating biomass, isotope and tracer data (2006, background): “This agrees with earlier reports on the bacterial dominance of production (Schwinghamer et al., 1986; Chardy and Dauvin, 1992) and respiration (Smith, 1973; Schwinghamer et al., 1986; Moodley et al., 2002).”
Oxygen as a control on sea floor biological communities and their roles in sedimentary carbon cycling (2007, methodology): “An average of 15% of added 13C was processed by the benthic community over 2–5 d, in line with previous experiments of this duration in deep-water settings and with similar area-specific label addition (e.g., Moodley et al. 2002; Witte et al. 2003b).”
Different ingestion patterns of 13C-labeled bacteria and algae by deep-sea benthic foraminifera (2006, background): “Recently, 13C-labeled feeding experiments have demonstrated the rapid ingestion of phytodetritus by benthic macrofauna, meiofauna, and bacteria (Blair et al. 1996, Levin et al. 1999, Middelburg et al. 2000, Moodley et al. 2002, 2005, Witte et al. 2003a,b, Nomaki et al. 2005a).”
Feast and famine — microbial life in the deep-sea bed (2007, background): “Feeding and bioturbation by macrofauna have an important role in POC degradatio”
Tracing 13C‐enriched dissolved and particulate organic carbon in the bacteria‐containing coral reef sponge Halisarca caerulea: Evidence for DOM‐feeding (2008, methodology): “The organic carbon content (biomass) of each individual sponge was determined directly from the area counts given in the standard output of the IRMS (Moodley et al. 2000, 2002).”
