Phagotrophic protists are a key component of microbial communities processing leaf litter under contrasting oxic conditions

The transformation of leaf litter, a key process in aquatic systems, is known to be reduced with decreasing oxygen concentrations, mainly due to lower abundance of and/or less active shredding macroinvertebrates. Aquatic fungi and phagotrophic protists involved in leaf litter processing can tolerate...
