Fig. 3. Average cell-specific uptake rates of all HNF and CRY1- and CryptoB-targeted flagellates in samples from three dam reservoirs (Klíčava, Římov and Žlutice) sampled in April, June, August and October 2019, and four shallow hypertrophic lakes sampled monthly (data from [22], see Supplementary Table S1).

In all habitats but the Římov Reservoir, CryptoB-targeted flagellates showed significantly higher bacterivory rates (two-tailed paired t-test; significance indicated by stars above the columns, *p > 0.05, **p > 0.01) than the average rates detected for all HNF or the CRY1 lineage, while differences in average uptake rates between the latter flagellate groups were insignificant. Error bars show the standard error of the mean; NS not significant.
