Exopolymer production and microcolony formation by planktonic freshwater bacteria: defence against protistan grazing
2004
Aquatic Microbial Ecology
The defence mechanisms of 2 novel bacterial isolates against protistan grazing were investigated in experiments with batch and continuous cultures. Strains MWH55 and MWH73 were isolated from the plankton of mesotrophic lakes using culture conditions with strong flagellate grazing pressure. The analysis of their 16S rRNA genes revealed that both strains belong to the Betaproteobacteria and demonstrated a close phylogenetic relatedness to bacteria previously detected by culture-independent
