Effect of CO 2 enrichment on bacterial metabolism in an Arctic fjord
The anthropogenic increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) alters the seawater carbonate chemistry, with a decline of pH and an increase in the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO(2)). Although bacteria play a major role in carbon cycling, little is known about the impact of rising pCO(2) on bacterial carbon metab...

The anthropogenic increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) alters the seawater carbonate chemistry, with a decline of pH and an increase in the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO(2)). Although bacteria play a major role in carbon cycling, little is known about the impact of rising pCO(2) on bacterial carbon metabolism, especially for natural bacterial communities. In this study, we investigated the effect of rising pCO(2) on bacterial production (BP), bacterial respiration (BR) and bacterial carbon metabolism during a mesocosm experiment performed in Kongsfjorden (Svalbard) in 2010. Nine mesocosms with pCO(2) levels ranging from ca. 180 to 1400 mu atm were deployed in the fjord and monitored for 30 days. Generally BP gradually decreased in all mesocosms in an initial phase, showed a large (3.6- fold average) but temporary increase on day 10, and increased slightly after inorganic nutrient addition. Over the wide range of pCO(2) investigated, the patterns in BP and growth rate of bulk and free- living communities were generally similar over time.
