Bacterial response to dust pulses in the western Mediterranean: Implications for carbon cycling in the oligotrophic ocean (2008, background): “Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is highly dependent on phosphorus availability, and hence oligotrophy appears to place high respiratory demands on bacterioplankton, resulting in very low growth efficiencies [del Giorgio and Cole, 1998; Smith and Prairie, 2004 ].”
The use of oxygen microprobes to measure bacterial respiration for determining bacterioplankton growth efficiency (2004, unknown): “07 Discrete Smith and Prairie (2004)”
Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry of stream sediments with comparison to terrestrial soils (2011, result): “…and soils are about 38 and 32%, respectively, which agrees well with empirical estimates (Biddanda et al. 2001; Foreman et al. 1998, Herron et al. 2009; Lennon and Pfaff 2005; Middelboe and Sondergaard 1993; Reinthaler and Herndl 2005; Sala et al. 2001; Smith and Prairie 2004; Su et al. 2007).”
Are you what you eat? Physiological constraints on organismal stoichiometry in an elementally imbalanced world (2005, unknown): “Aquatic bacteria and autotrophs also can increase respiration when faced with high quantities of DOC or light (respectively) relative to nutrients (Robinson 1996, Alcoverro et al. 2000, Smith and Prairie 2004).”
Source and supply of terrestrial organic matter affects aquatic microbial metabolism (2005, background): “For example, there was no relationship between either bacterial growth or BP along a DOC gradient (208 to 758 µM) in 20 Quebec lakes (Smith & Prairie 2004).”
Carbocentric limnology: looking back, looking forward. (2008, background): “Depending on the nutrients available, heterotrophic bacteria will utilize allochthonous DOC with lesser or greater efficiency (Smith and Prairie 2004) and convert it to biomass, a portion of which will eventually make its way up the food web.”
Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “Indeed, planktonic bacterial respiration (Smith & Prairie, 2004) and growth (Goldman & Dennett, 2000) has been linked to the DOC : nutrient ratios in the environment, suggesting that a stoichiometric perspective could also be useful to investigate the consequences of variable DOC : nutrient ratios…”
Empirical study of cyanobacterial toxicity along a trophic gradient of lakes (2005, background): “Phosphorus is the most limiting nutrient in these lakes (Prairie et al. 2002; Smith and Prairie 2004).”
Factors Controlling the Year-Round Variability in Carbon Flux Through Bacteria in a Coastal Marine System (2008, background): “Inorganic nutrient availability has been proposed as a controlling factor enhancing BGE in experimental (Goldman and others 1987) and field studies (Kroer 1993; Smith and Prairie 2004 ).”
Does autochthonous primary production drive variability in bacterial metabolism and growth efficiency in lakes dominated by terrestrial C inputs (2005, background): “…that BP and BGE are strongly connected to phosphorus, e.g. TDP was found to be the best predictor of BP and BGE in a survey of a trophic lake gradient by Smith & Prairie (2004), and Pace & Cole (1996), reported increasing BP in response to P enrichment regardless of the response by phytoplankton.”
