Seawater of the Euphotic Zone
Microbial biomass on suspended organic matter in seawater of the euphotic zone of Saanich Inlet was investigated. The viable microorganisms were measured by the glucose-uptake method. Microbial carbon on particulate organic matter in seawater was determined to be, on the average, 9.9 ,ug of C/liter, and there was a regression relationship as y = 0.0062 x 1.79 with an unbiased variance Vyx12= 0....
متن کاملUpward nitrate transport by phytoplankton in oceanic waters: balancing nutrient budgets in oligotrophic seas
In oceanic subtropical gyres, primary producers are numerically dominated by small (1-5 µm diameter) pro- and eukaryotic cells that primarily utilize recycled nutrients produced by rapid grazing turnover in a highly efficient microbial loop. Continuous losses of nitrogen (N) to depth by sinking, either as single cells, aggregates or fecal pellets, are balanced by both nitrate inputs at the base...
متن کاملIntensification of open-ocean oxygen depletion by vertically migrating animals
Throughout the ocean, countless small animals swim to depth in the daytime, presumably to seek refuge from large predators1,2. These animals return to the surface at night to feed1,2. This substantial diel vertical migration can result in the transfer of significant amounts of carbon and nutrients from the surface to depth3–7. However, its consequences on ocean chemistry at the global scale hav...
متن کاملConsumption of silicic acid below the euphotic zone by sedimenting diatom blooms in the Barents Sea
Massive sedimentation of spring phytoplankton blooms occurs in the Barents Sea as in many other shelf sea environments. Associated with this sedimentation there is a large decrease in concentration of dissolved shcic acid below the nitracline. This decrease is apparently related to resting spore formation of the dominant &atom species Chaetoceros socids. The deep shcic acid consumption seems to...
متن کاملCulturable heterotrophic bacteria from the euphotic zone of the Indian Ocean during the summer monsoon
Cuturable heterotrophic bacterial counts (viable counts: VC) by surface plating on ZoBell medium and total bacterial counts (TC) by epifluorescence microscopy were carried out in sea water off the southwest coast of lndia during the monsoon. TC were three orders of magnitude higher than VC. Pseudomonas/Alteromonas group 1 was dominant in both nearshore and offshore regions. Pigmented bacteria w...
