• Seasonal diel variations of picoplankton and nanoplankton in a subtropical western Pacific coastal ecosystem (2005, background): “On the basis of experiments conducted around noon, Christaki et al. (2001) concluded that picoautotrophic carbon is unlikely to enter the microbial food web through nanoflagellate grazing.”
• Optimized routine flow cytometric enumeration of heterotrophic flagellates using SYBR Green I (2011, background): “Relatively little attention has been paid to the role of heterotrophic flagellates as grazers of <5 µm phytoplankton, although there have been a number of papers focusing on this role over the last couple of decades (Sherr and Sherr 1992, 1994, 2002; Sakka et al. 2000; Christaki et al. 2001, 2005).”
• Protistan Grazing on Marine Bacterioplankton (2008, background): “Christaki et al. (2001) estimated that HNF consume daily 1–45 percent of Synechococcus standing stock in the western Mediterranean Sea.”
• Distribution and host diversity of Amoebophryidae parasites across oligotrophic waters of the Mediterranean Sea (2010, background): “Heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) play also an important role in these ecosystems, being able to remove 45 to 87% of bacterial biomass (Christaki et al., 2001).”
• Synechococcus in the Atlantic Gateway to the Arctic Ocean (2016, methodology): “Water fractionation experiments were used to examine interaction between different size groups of microorganisms and to estimate growth rates of the different microbial components (Simek and Chrzanowski, 1992; Jürgens et al., 2000; Christaki et al., 2001; Sato et al., 2007).”
