1. Variability and regulation of the planktonic respiratory quotient in a eutrophic lake (Lake Vombsjön) in summer 2016
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Bacterial respiration and biomass growth are important processes for carbon cycling in freshwater ecosystems and bacterial respiration is often quantified from measured O2 concentrations by using a respiratory quotient (RQ=O2 consumed to produce CO2, in moles) of 1. Recent studies have shown, however, that RQs can vary a lot in different aquatic ecosystems (0. READ MORE

2. Impact of photo-chemical processing of dissolved organic carbon on the bacterial respiratory quotient in aquatic ecosystems
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) enters inland waters from the surrounding terrestrial ecosystems, and is assimilated by bacterioplankton, mineralizing it to carbon dioxide (CO2). This bacterial respiration (BR) is an important part of carbon processing in freshwater, but it is also a process of global significance; in oceans and inland waters combined, BR is probably the largest single sink of organic carbon on Earth.

3. Resistance and resilience of microbial communities - temporal and spatial insurance against perturbations
University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; LimnologiAbstract : Bacterial communities are fundamental components of many processes occurring in aquatic ecosystems, since through microbial activities substantial amount of matter and energy is transferred from a pool of DOC to higher trophic levels. Previous studies highlighted the beneficial effects of diversity on ecosystem functioning, however studies on the resistance and resilience in microbial communities are scarce. READ MORE
