Heterotrophic nanoflagellate grazing facilitates subarctic Atlantic spring bloom development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The subarctic Atlantic phytoplankton spring bloom is one of the largest biological features of the ocean; however, processes initiating the bloom are still not well understood. We hypothesize that the microbial grazing ... -
Nutrient pathways through the microbial food web: principles and predictability discussed, based on five different experiments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11-11)Although explanatory and predictive powers are 2 closely interconnected aspects of conceptual and mathematical models of complex systems, the two are not equivalent. The 2 aspects are discussed here for the microbial part ... -
Seasonal dynamics of bacterial biofilms on the kelp Laminaria hyperborea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05)Seasonal variations of the cell density and bacterial community composition in biofilms growing on the surface of the kelp Laminaria hyperborea from 2 sites on the southwestern coast of Norway were investigated using total ... -
Utilization of kelp-derived carbon sources by kelp surface-associated bacteria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01)The surfaces of kelp are covered with bacteria that may utilize kelp-produced carbon and thereby contribute significantly to the carbon flux in kelp forest ecosystems. There is scant knowledge about the identity of these ...
