Zooplankton grazing on bacteria and cyanobacteria in a eutrophic lake

During in situ experiments in a cyanobacteria- and copepod-dominated eutrophic subtropical lake, all taxa of protozoa and metazoan zooplankton grazed fluorescently labelled bacteria and all metazoan zooplankton taxa grazed large filamentous and colonial cyanobacteria.
