Nixdorf B., Arndt H., Schierhorn E., 1991. Short-term response in the microbial food web to organic matter loading. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 21 (Suppl.): 163-170.

A short-term experiment on the role of microbial food web in a eutrophic shallow lake is described. The results obtained demonstrate a high potential of the pelagic microbial food web (bacteria - Protozoa) to respond to disturbances in a balanced ecosystem.
