| Research Abstract |
The structure of microbial loop in lake was evaluated by stable isotope probing. 13C-labelled algal organic matter prepared by cultivating algal pure culture with 13C-bicarbonate was added to lake water. DNA analysis in different density fractions demonstrated that microorganisms related to Limnohabitans predominantly responded to algal organic matter. In addition, flagellates and ciliates also assimilated 13C by preying on Limnohabitans-related bacteria. The close relationship between Limnohabitans-related bacteria and cyanobacteria was observed in the field survey.
