The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Viruses as pathogens of marine organisms—from bacteria to whales (2006, background): “This group of protists is widely distributed as saprobic decomposers and is believed to have special importance in marine ecology due to their high content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Raghukumar, 2002).”
Chemical interactions between marine macroalgae and bacteria (2010, background): “A few interesting studies have been presented on fungi, microalgae and protozoa as associates of macroalgae (see Harder 1999, Hellio et al. 2002, Raghukumar 2002, Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer 2003, Lam et al. 2008b).”
Diet of whale sharks Rhincodon typus inferred from stomach content and signature fatty acid analyses (2013, background): “…link to the detrital and heterotrophic food chain (Lee Chang et al. 2011, Lee Chang et al. 2012), since bacteria colonise sinking particulate matter after plankton blooms (Morris 1984, Skerratt et al. 1995) and are found in high concentrations in sediments (Santangelo et al. 2000, Raghukumar 2002).”
