Abstract
⺠Our modelling study investigates potential effects of zinc on microbial ecosystems. ⺠The model comprises a traditional food chain and a microbial loop. ⺠Zinc-inhibited bacterial DOM uptake suppresses the growth of zooplankton or protozoa. ⺠Grazing preference of zooplankton affects the most vulnerable group to zinc. ⺠Supply of DOM from photosynthesis makes the microbial ecosystem resistant to zinc.
