• Physiological Structure and Single‐Cell Activity in Marine Bacterioplankton (2008, background): “There are at least two major fractions: cells with high nucleic acid content (HNA cells) and cells with low nucleic acid content (LNA cells) (Robertson and Button 1989; Li et al. 1995; Gasol et al. 1999; Gasol and del Giorgio 2000; Lebaron et al. 2002).”
• Identification and enumeration of bacteria assimilating dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico (2004, result): “Lebaron et al. (2002) also obtained similar results in Mediterranean coastal waters, where they found a strong positive correlation between bacterial size and per-cell leucine assimilation.”
• Activity and diversity of bacterial cells with high and low nucleic acid content (2003, methodology): “Several authors have recently suggested that HNA cells are more active than LNA cells (Gasol et al. 1999) and that they are responsible for most of the bacterial production (Lebaron et al. 2001) even if their CSA is highly 47 Aquat Microb Ecol 33: 41–51, 2003 heterogeneous (Lebaron et al. 2002).”
• Microbial community structure in the sea surface microlayer at two contrasting coastal sites in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea (2006, methodology): “The number of bacteria with a high and low nucleic acid (HDNA and LDNA, respectively) content was determined according to Lebaron et al. (2002) and Servais et al. (2003).”
• Seasonal dynamics of picoplankton in shelf waters of the southern Bay of Biscay (2006, background): “Size and nucleic acid content of heterotrophic bacteria Both size and nucleic acid content of heterotrophic bacteria are sensitive to metabolic activity (Lebaron et al. 2002).”
• Assessing the relevance of nucleic acid content as an indicator of marine bacterial activity (2007, background): “Although correlation analysis cannot prove causal relationships, the known effect of bacterial size on activity (Gasol et al. 1995, Servais et al. 1999, Lebaron et al. 2002) may help answer the question: How useful is HNA cell abundance as a proxy of bacterial activity in the sea?”
