Epipelon can contribute to the maintenance of shallow lake oligotrophication. Herein, we simulated oligotrophication by diluting eutrophic water and evaluated epipelon biomass and structure and potential relationships with ...

Grazing rate estimates indicate that approximately half of the bacterivory in oligotrophic oceans is due to mixotrophic flagellates. However, most estimations have considered algae as a single group. Here we aimed at opening ...
