Rhizosphere fauna: the functional and structural diversity of intimate interactions of soil fauna with plant roots (2009, positive): “In general, size-selection has been shown to play an important role for predation on bacteria, resulting in distinct shifts in the size and morphology of grazed suspended planktonic cells (Pernthaler 2005; Young 2006).”
Same same but different: ecological niche partitioning of planktonic freshwater prokaryotes (2013, background): “…bacteria, as most flagellates and small ciliates are size selective (andersson et al., 1986; chrzanowski and Šimek, 1990; Jürgens and Matz, 2002; Posch et al., 2001), while very small cells and filamentous bacteria seem to be protected from ingestion (Pernthaler, 2005; Posch et al., 1999).”
Biogeography of Bacterioplankton in Inland Waters (2008, neutral): “, 2003) and grazing (e.g. Hahn & Höfle, 2001; Jürgens & Matz, 2002; Pernthaler, 2005).”
Morphological plasticity as a bacterial survival strategy (2008, background): “Although filamentation has not been directly investigated in these protist models, it has been clearly shown that filamentous prey are resistant to protist predation in a number of marine environments (reviewed in Ref”
Complex interactions in the microbial world: underexplored key links between viruses, bacteria and protozoan grazers in aquatic environments (2008, background): “As a result of both the phenotypic plasticity at the individual level and shifts in community composition, the bacterial community induces various types of phenotypic changes (Concept 4, Table 1), which can act as a resistance mechanism against HNF grazing (Šimek et al. 1999, Pernthaler 2005).”

Ecology and exploration of the rare biosphere (2015, background): “Similarly, selective predation by bacterivores is a function of size, activity and abundance 58 , 59 .”
Microbiological Endogenous Processes in Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems (2010, background): “68 For this reason, the sterilization process practically inactivated almost all living bacteria in biomass, and thus influenced certain interactions between bacteria and higher microorganisms.”
Microbial seed banks: the ecological and evolutionary implications of dormancy (2011, background): “Microbial growth in these habitats is characterized by boom and bust population cycles owing to fluctuations in environmental variables, rapid depletion of growth-limiting resources, and interspecific interactions such as competition and predatio”
Protistan Grazing on Marine Bacterioplankton (2008, background): “The newly emerged picture is that grazing on bacteria is a strong selection pressure in planktonic systems, thereby shaping the phenotypic and genetic composition of prokaryotic communities in the world’s oceans (Pernthaler 2005).”
The role of bacterial biofilms in chronic infections (2013, background): “The defence mechanism appears to be chemical, because the bacteria in biofilms can produce compounds that disable or even kill eukaryotes such as PMNs (I, IX, XII, XIII) (121, 129, 130).”
Emerging concepts on microbial processes in the bathypelagic ocean-ecology, biogeochemistry, and genomics (2010, result): “This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that resources are highly heterogeneous in the bathypelagic environment, although mortality (grazing and viral lysis) may also shape community structure (Thingstad, 2000; Pernthaler, 2005).”
