| Comments | "In an example from a different aquatic environment, an oligotrophic lake, the large (270µm^3) motile bacterium Chromatium okenii was found to be responsible for >40% of total ammonium uptake and >70% of total carbon uptake, despite accounting for only 0.3% of the total cell number (ref 33)." |
