| 2 | Ciliates | Ciliates | #/l | Giannakourou, Antonia | Epifluorescence microscopy | Borax-buffered formalin (final concentration 2% formaldehyde). Samples for ciliate counting were stored at 4oC in the dark until observation. For ciliate identification and enumeration, 100 ml samples were left for 24 h in sedimentation cylinders and then observed under an inverted epifluorescence microscope. |
| 3 | Ciliates, biomass as carbon | Ciliates C | µg/l | Giannakourou, Antonia | Ciliate cell sizes were measured and converted into cell volumes using appropriate geometric formulae (Peuto-Moreau 1991). For biomass estimation, the conversion factor 140 fgC um-3 was used (Putt and Stoecker 1989). |
