Composition and dynamics of particle-associated and free-living bacterial communities in the Weser estuary, Germany (2003, background): “…and biofilm-associated bacterial communities in the river Elbe, Germany and its estuary, found high proportions of cells of the CF cluster (Böckelmann et al. 2000, Brümmer et al. 2000, Simon et al. 2002). α-, β- and γ-Proteobacteria, in our study, in most cases were of lower significance…”
Oil shale industry wastewater: impact on river microbial community and possibilities for bioremediation (2004, background): “Most abundant bacterial group in river lotic organic aggregates (‘river snow’) is constituted by β-Proteobacteria, followed by importance by Cytophaga-Flavobacteria group (Bockelmann et al., 2000).”

Microbial ecology of organic aggregates in aquatic ecosystems (2002, background): “Rivers and estuaries In a study analyzing the bacterial community on aggregates in the River Elbe, Germany (using FISH), Böckelmann et al. (2000) showed that it was largely dominated by β-Proteobacteria constituting ~50% of total DAPI-stainable cells. α- and γ-Proteobacteria were of lower…”
