Latitudinal variation in the availability and use of dissolved organic nitrogen in Atlantic coast salt marshes
TL;DR: In this paper, porewater was sampled at eight field sites along the North American Atlantic Coast, ranging from Maine (44° N) to Florida (30° N), to determine if a latitudinal gradient existed in the assimilation of either dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) or NH4+, replicated mesocosm experiments were conducted with S. alterniflora plants at three field sites (Massachusetts, Virginia, South Carolina).

Impact of water column acidification on protozoan bacterivory at the lake sediment-water interface.
Sarah C. Tremaine,Aaron L. Mills +1 more
TL;DR: The presence of an abundant, neutrophilic protozoan community and high bacterial grazing rates indicates that acidification of Lake Anna has not inhibited the bacterium-protozoon link of the sediment microbial food web.

Effects of ingesting mercury-containing bacteria on mercury tolerance and growth rates of ciliates.
TL;DR: The ciliateUronema nigricans was found to acquire tolerance to mercury after being fed mercury-laden bacteria followed by exposure of washed suspensions of these ciliates to various concentrations of mercury in solution.

Factors controlling the removal of sulfate and acidity from the waters of an acidified lake
Alan T. Herlihy,Aaron L. Mills +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, sulfate removal rates were measured in sediment microcosms under a variety of experimental conditions to determine the factors controlling the rate of sulfate and acidity removal from the lake water.

Cropping and the diversity and function of bacteria in Pahokee muck
Robert L. Tate,Aaron L. Mills +1 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the potential catabolic activities of the soil bacteria were the same in the soils from the fallow, sugarcane and grass fields, and that the structures of the bacterial communities of the cropped and fallow soils were very similar.
