About This Cover
Cover photograph (Copyright © 2009, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.): Composite differential interference contrast micrograph of a freshwater ciliate, algae, and an amoeba. Ciliates are an important component of stream biofilms, acting as predators of bacteria and protozoa and constituting a source of nutrition for organisms at higher trophic levels. According to both microscopy and molecular analysis methods, ciliate communities differ significantly in stream biofilms subject to different human impacts.
