Department of Ocean Ecosystems, Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies, University of Groningen, Haren, The Netherlands
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 73:68-82. 2010..Thus, the successional maturity of the microbial community in our minicosm studies appears to be a greater determinant of bacterial community composition rather than the nonprofound and subtle effects of UV-R...
Shifts in coastal Antarctic marine microbial communities during and after melt water-related surface stratificationAnouk M T Piquet
Department of Ocean Ecosystems, Energy and Sustainability Research Institute, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 76:413-27. 2011..Our results show that melt water stratification and the transition to nonstabilized Antarctic surface waters may have an impact not only on micro-eukaryotic but also bacterial community composition...
