Small, aloricate ciliates as a major component of the marine heterotrophic nanoplankton

Creator:

Sherr, Evelyn, Sherr, Barry F., Fallon, Robert D., and Newell, Steven Y.

Abstract:

Small, aloricate ciliates with equivalent spherical cell diameters <20 µm (biovolume <4,000 µm3) compose, on average, 4–57% of the total biomass of heterotrophic (apochlorotic) nanoplankton in diverse marine systems. Biomass production of nanoplanktonic ciliates in a southeastern U.S. estuary was also a significant part of the total production of heterotrophic...
