Microorganisms, such as phytoplankton and bacterioplankton, are affected by turnover rates of nutrients and show great fluctuations over seasons. In productive coastal areas, the biomass of bacterioplankton can be in the same range as that of phytoplankton. In these coastal areas the initiation and...
