Microbial Ecology in Lake Cisó

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Microbial Ecology ((AMIE,volume 13))

Abstract

The principles of ecology have been developed from the study of animals and plants. The contribution of microorganisms to ecological theory has been extremely limited. Their role in ecosystems is usually considered to be only as mineralizers of organic matter and intermediates in some cycles of nutrients, despite the fact that different guilds of the bacterioplankton carry out a large variety of functions in aquatic environments (Jones, 1987; Pedrós-Alió, 1989). Experimentally, they have been used only to test some models of predation and competition. If ecology is to be universally valid, however, its principles should be applicable to microorganisms. Further, by limiting the objects of study to animals and plants, most of the history of life on Earth (and thus most of its ecological history) is ignored. It seems that one of the main purposes of microbial ecology, therefore, should be to test whether general ecological principles are applicable to microorganisms, trying to integrate microorganisms in the current ecological paradigms. There seem to be two alternatives for this purpose. In the first one, some easily measurable macroscopic parameter of microbial communities can be measured in a significant number of systems so that generalizations can be derived (Peters, 1986). In the second one, a given system can be used as a model ecosystem, and its components studied in a degree of detail impossible with the first approach (Brock, 1978; Ward et al., 1987). We took this second alternative when initiating the study of Lake Cis6 16 years ago.
