Summary
| Description |
English: The link between the microbial loop and the aquatic food web. Dissolved organic matter becomes particulate organic matter as bacteria eat it and grow to form clumps. Small clumps of organic matter are eaten by bacterivores and zooplankton eat both bacterivores and big clumps of organic matter. Zooplankton are then eaten by fish. Dissolved organic matter is leaked or excreted by zooplankton and fish, and the cycle, called the microbial loop, starts over. Blue arrows show the movement of organic matter from the microbial loop to the food web and back. |
