Wide‐ranging abundances of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria in the world ocean revealed by epifluorescence microscopy and quantitative PCR (2005, background): “The high abundances of AAnPB reported by Kolber et al. (2001) but low BChla : Chla ratios reported by Goericke (2002) prompted us to collect IREM measurements of AAnPB in local waters off the coast of Southern California.”
Contributions of anoxygenic and oxygenic phototrophy and chemolithotrophy to carbon and oxygen fluxes in aquatic environments. (2009, background): “…overall bacterial organotrophy in the surface ocean: a value on the order of a 1% enhancement of overall organotrophic bacterial growth (i.e. including bacteria that lack energy-transforming photochemistry) seems appropriate on the basis of present knowledge (Goericke 2002, Moran & Miller 2007).”
