“In vitro” evaluation of the bacterivore potential of three Cladoceran species occurring in tropical and subtropical regions

Abstract Cladocerans occupy an important position among the bacterial consumers in freshwater food webs, being relatively non-selective filter feeders that can exert a strong impact on microbial populations. We evaluated the bacterivory potential of three cladocerans species of subtropical and tropi...
