Production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) by benthic diatoms: effect of irradiance and temperature (2002, background): “It has been reported that microphytobenthic biomass in the field shows oscillations, i.e. an increase of biomass at good growth conditions (due to primary production at daytime exposure) and a decrease during the night (Blanchard et al. 2001).”
Effect of nutrient availability on carbon and nitrogen incorporation and flows through benthic algae and bacteria in near-shore sandy sediment (2007, background): “Furthermore, given that grazing and resuspension may maintain algae in a higher state of production (Blanchard et al. 2001), and, hence, possibly lower excretion rates, the extremely high transfer of C from the algae to the bacteria observed here may not be applicable to the field.”
