Open AccessDust inputs and bacteria influence dissolved organic matter in clear alpine lakes
Remote lakes are usually unaffected by direct human influence, yet they receive inputs of atmospheric pollutants, dust, and other aerosols, both inorganic and organic. In remote, alpine lakes, these atmospheri...

Contribution of transparent exopolymer particles to carbon sinking flux in an oligotrophic reservoir
Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) compose an important pool of particulate organic matter (POM) in aquatic systems. However, no studies of TEP contribution to C export to sediment exist for freshwaters. W...

Exploring Bacterioplankton Growth and Protein Synthesis to Determine Conversion Factors Across a Gradient of Dissolved Organic Matter
The effect of bacterial specific growth rates of abundance (µ) and protein synthesis (b) on conversion factor (CF) variability was explored in order to provide an alternative approach to the controversial applica...

Plankton dynamics in a high mountain lake (Las Yeguas, Sierra Nevada, Spain). Indirect evidence of ciliates as food source for zooplankton
A detailed sampling programme during the ice-free season (July–September) in the oligotrophic lake Las Yeguas (Southern Spain) has shown a well-defined time lag between phytoplankton and zooplankton maximum st...
