Interactions Between Bacteria, Protozoa and Nematodes in Soil (2012, background): “Other factors such as high bacterial motility can also reduce protozoan feeding efficiency (Boenigk et al. 2001, Matz and Jürgens 2003, Matz and Kjelleberg 2005, Matz et al. 2002).”
Selective feeding behaviour of key free-living protists: avenues for continued study (2008, background): “…are important at the micrometer scale; e.g. hydrophobicity may influence contact probability (Buskey 1997, Monger et al. 1999, Matz & Jürgens 2001, Matz et al. 2002, Matz & Jürgens 2005), as will the forces generated by the highly viscous, low Reynolds number environment in which protists exist…”
Microzooplankton grazing in the coastal Gulf of Alaska: Variations in top‐down control of phytoplankton (2007, background): “The mechanism underlying the growth–grazing relationship could be regulation of feeding behavior by prey cell surface cues or prey-derived chemical signals, themselves related to phytoplankton nutritional (i.e., growth) condition (e.g., Monger et al. 1999; Matz et al. 2002; Strom et al. 2003).”
The Selective Value of Bacterial Shape (2006, background): “The reason may be because instead of moving by the run-and-tumble strategy these bacteria move by the run-and-reverse strategy, which may allow them to beat a hasty retreat before being trapped (204).”
Covariance of bacterioplankton composition and environmental variables in a temperate delta system (2003, background): “For example, several mesocosm studies demonstrated that selective grazing by protists favors large and filamentous bacteria of varying phylogenetic affiliations (e.g. Simek et al. 2001, Matz et al. 2002).”
Protistan Grazing on Marine Bacterioplankton (2008, background): “However, the widespread occurrence of capsules in marine bacteria (Stoderegger and Herndl 2002) and its interactions with grazers (Matz et al. 2002a) remains to be studied in more detail.”
Predation on prokaryotes in the water column and its ecological implications (2005, background): “This is owing to selective foraging — although many protists are omnivorous, some important groups, particularly flagellates, might nevertheless show a strong preference for particular prey specie”
