Seasonal changes of Antarctic marine bacterioplankton

During a one-year period the development of the Antarctic coastal seawater bacterioplankton was followed. Two field stations (surface and deep water = 20 m, respectively) were sampled daily in 1989 in " Terre Adelie area". The survey included physicochemical (temperature and particulate or...

Description
Summary:During a one-year period the development of the Antarctic coastal seawater bacterioplankton was followed. Two field stations (surface and deep water = 20 m, respectively) were sampled daily in 1989 in " Terre Adelie area". The survey included physicochemical (temperature and particulate organic matter) and bacteriological (total and heterotrophic bacteria, bacterial production) measurements. Whereas bacterial parameters at the deep water station remained fairly constant, bacterial parameters in surface waters generally increased during the year obviously related to the formation of sea ice.
