Close coupling between phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the western South China Sea (2009, background): “High rates of metabolism and amino acid uptake have been found for Prochlorococcus near its habitat boundaries (Zubkov and Tarran 2005), but it is unclear how such physiological responses and substrate availabilities may have influenced outcomes in the present experiments.”
Towards a better understanding of microbial carbon flux in the sea (2008, background): “Mixotrophy is known to be common among eukaryotic phytoplankton (i.e. dinoflagellates and ciliates), but significant amino acid uptake was recently also documented in Prochlorococcus, the main prokaryotic primary producers of tropical and subtropical oceans (Zubkov & Tarran 2005).”
DON as a source of bioavailable nitrogen for phytoplankton (2006, unknown): “Similarly, Zubkov and Tarran (2005) used35S-labeled methionine and cell sorting to estimate DFAA uptake inProchlorococcusandSynechococcussampled from oligotrophic surface waters of the South Atlantic.”
SAR11 dominance among metabolically active low nucleic acid bacterioplankton in surface waters along an Atlantic Meridional Transect (2006, methodology): “The cell and population-specific relative and absolute activities of the LNA group were calculated as previously described in detail for cyanobacteria (Zubkov et al. 2004, Zubkov & Tarran 2005).”
