Nanoplanktons are ubiquitous protozoan zooplankton in a size range of 2 to 20 μm, play key ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems. Heterotrophic nanoflagellates are distributed through the continental shelf and margin area of the oceans as well as deep-sea. These organisms contribute significantly to the total living biomass within these systems, serve as the major top–down control on bacterial assemblages, and are an important source of mortality for microalgae and other heterotrophic nanoflagellates. From many recent studies, it is generally accepted that HNF is one of the most important bacterial consumers. They also function as important remineralizers of organic matter and nutrients in aquatic systems. In accordance with these important ecological roles, heterotrophic nanoflagellates have been the subject of considerable study both in the field and laboratory.

Protozoans prefer large and metabolically active bacteria

The aim of our studies was to verify the hypothesis that heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) prefer large and metabolically active bacterial cells, and avoid small and inactive bacteria. Determined grazing rates on bacteria differing in sizes and metabolic activity and observed changes in bacterioplankton structure in samples with and without bacterial grazers indicated that HNF prefer large (but not too large) and actively metabolizing bacterial cells. Bacterial size fraction between 0.4 and 0.8 μm represented the majority of all grazed bacteria, i.e. 61.6±6.9 %. Grazing rates on live bacteria were 1.83 times greater than grazing rates on dead bacteria. This preferential protozoan feeding strongly affects composition and activity of bacterial communities in aquatic environments.
