Abstract: | The disappearance of bacteria through grazing was studied. Five allochthonous and eight autochthonous bacterial strains, and the bacterioplankton of the Butrón River were tested. There were differences in the susceptibility of different strains. These differences seemed to be related to intrinsic characteristics of the bacteria rather than to their origin. |
