    Nutrient Limitation in Surface Waters of the Oligotrophic Eastern Mediterranean Sea: an Enrichment Microcosm Experiment

    The growth rates of planktonic microbes in the pelagic zone of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea are nutrient limited, but the type of limitation is still uncertain. During this study, we investigated the occurren...

    Differential patterns of mesozooplankters’ distribution in relation to physical and biological variables of the northeastern Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean)

    Mesozooplankton group composition was examined in the Northeastern Aegean Sea (NEA) over a grid of 30 stations sampled during July 2004. The surface water layer influenced by the low salinity Black Sea waters ...

    Fish Farming Effects on Chemical and Microbial Variables of the Water Column: A Spatio-temporal Study Along the Mediterranean Sea

    The effects of fish farming on chemical and biological variables of the water column were investigated in three coastal locations along the Mediterranean (Spain, Italy and Greece). Analyses of nutrients, chlor...

    Biology and ultrastructure of the mycophagus, soil testate amoeba, Phryganella acropodia (Rhizopoda, Protozoa)

    Clones of Phryganella acropodia were cultivated under different trophic conditions with bacteria as the food source. The doubling time was estimated to be 3 days. The edibility of four species of fungi, Aspergill...

    Native carbon mineralization of an acid organic soil after use of the chloroform-fumigation method to estimate microbial biomass

    Two experiments were carried out on a dysmoder humus sampled from a depth of 2–5 cm from a mixed hardwood forest. In acid soil, the chloroform fumigation-incubation method failed to estimate the microbial biom...
