%0 Book %T From single species to the community level: exploring under-researched avenues in protist ecology and protist-prokaryote interactions %A Anderson, Ruth %D 2012 %G English %F 766614182 %O vorgelegt von Ruth Anderson %O Rostock, Univ., Mathematisch-Naturwiss. Fak., Diss., 2012 %X Two case studies of under-researched fields in protist-prokaryote interactions are analysed: 1. Bacteria adapted to carbon-starvation are shown to present species-specific patterns in their vulnerability to a protist grazer, including strong resistance. 2. Protist communities in Baltic Sea pelagic redoxclines are shown to present a characteristic structuring. Protist bacterivory is the main prokaryotic mortality factor until hydrogen sulphide begins to rise and can control the growth of a chemolithoautotrophic bacterial key-player, proving the ecological relevance of protists in these zones. %L WI 4480 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %U http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2013-0130-3 %U http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2013-0130-3&pdf %U http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2013-0130-3
