Structure and function of the global ocean microbiome (2015, background): “Moving among aggregates to exploit nutrient patches and potentially new niches (34) may drive the diversification of mesopelagic zone–adapted microbial populations (53).”
Marine Biofilms: A Successful Microbial Strategy With Economic Implications (2018, background): “…creates gradients of e.g., dissolved organic matter at the microscale, and (iii) chemical and physical gradients, including viscosity, fluid velocity and salinity gradients, occur due to polymer webs, turbulent shear, and release of interstitial fluid carried by porous materials (Stocker, 2012).”
Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “Motility is a physiological and behavioral trait usually linked to the response to environmental gradients (341).”
Mechanisms of Microbial Carbon Sequestration in the Ocean - Future Research Directions (2014, background): “These genes provide a mechanism by which microor- ganisms can respond to microscale DOC gradients and access nutrient-enriched patches (Stocker, 2012).”
Life in the salinity gradient: Discovering mechanisms behind a new biodiversity pattern (2013, background): “Specifically for the bacteria, as spatial and temporal gradients in the nutrient landscape represent two formidable dimensions in niche space, it seems plausible that the diversity of motile forms is generally larger than the diversity of nonmotile forms because, given the high energetic cost of mot”
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) release by phytoplankton in the contemporary and future ocean (2014, methodology): “An early concept used to describe the relationship between phytoplankton and bacterioplankton was the ‘phycosphere’ (Bell & Mitchell, 1972; Stocker, 2012), which described a zone surrounding a phytoplankton cell in which bacterial growth is stimulated by DOM released from the cell.”
Spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial community composition in large shallow eutrophic Lake Taihu: High overlap between free‐living and particle‐attached assemblages (2017, background): “Previous researches have shown that PA bacteria are often bigger and more active than their FL counterparts due to concentrated substrates in particle microhabitats (Grossart et al. 2003, 2007; Stocker 2012; Kellogg and Deming 2014).”
