The role of heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNAN, size 2-20 μm) in grazing on bacteria and mineralization of organic matter in stratified Lake Vechten was studied. Quantitative effects of manipulation and fixation on HNAN were checked. Considerable losses were caused by centrifugation, even at low speed, and by filtration if the vacuum exceeded 3 kPa...

Thirty four Thermus aquaticus strains have been isolated from the non-volcanically naturally heated waters of the Australian Artesian Basin which extends the known ecological habitat of this group of organisms. A simple and rapid method developed for isolation of plasmids indicated that considerable variation in numbers and molecular sizes existed ...
