- Flagellates (Cercomonas, Spumella) graze suspended bacteria in water films and move through narrow pores
- Grazing is selective: protists reject large, filamentous, pigmented or toxic cells, so grazing shifts bacterial community structure
- Surplus nitrogen from bacterial prey is excreted as ammonium, and grazed rhizosphere communities favour auxin-producing bacteria that branch roots
