Ecological data for Huang et al. MS-Protist grazing increases heterocysts

Grazing by heterotrophic protists promotes heterocyst production in filamentous cyanobacteria, and this is closely associated with the macronutrient regeneration during the grazing process.

异养原生生物（heterotrophic protists）的捕食作用可促进丝状蓝细菌（filamentous cyanobacteria）的异形胞生成，且该过程与捕食过程中的大量营养素再生密切相关。
