Top processes
- Bdellovibrio attack-phase cells swim to Gram-negative prey and attach at the outer membrane
- Encounter outcome: prey is invaded or lysed, or prey escapes by resistance, biofilm shielding or spatial refuge
- Bdellovibrio enters the periplasm, forms a bdelloplast, grows as a filament and lyses the prey after about 3-4 h releasing several progeny

Soil fauna
3 steps- Soil nematodes sort into feeding guilds: bacterivores, fungivores, plant parasites, omnivores and predators
- Bacterivorous nematodes excrete ammonium because bacteria are N-rich prey; nematodes account for roughly 5-20% of net N mineralization (wide range)
- Predatory and omnivorous nematodes (Mononchida, Dorylaimida) eat other nematodes, adding a trophic level that slows prey growth
