Some Limnological Features of a Shallow Saline Meromictic Lake

Photosynthetic activity and population dynamics of Amoebobacter purpureus in a meromictic saline lake

A dense population of the purple sulfur bacterium Amoebobacter purpureus in the chemocline of meromictic Mahoney Lake (British Columbia, Canada) underwent consistent changes in biomass over a two year study period. The integrated amount of bacteriochlorophyll reached maxima in August and declined markedly during early fall. Bacteriochlorophyll was only Weakly correlated with the light intensity...

Vertical distribution of major sulfate-reducing bacteria in a shallow eutrophic meromictic lake.

The vertical distribution of sulfate-reducing bacteria was investigated in a shallow, eutrophic, meromictic lake, Lake Harutori, located in a residential area of Kushiro, Japan. A steep chemocline, characterized by gradients of oxygen, sulfide and salinity, was found at a depth of 3.5-4.0 m. The sulfide concentration at the bottom of the lake was high (up to a concentration of 10.7 mM). Clone l...

Morphological, Phylogenetic and Physiological Studies of Pico-Cyanobacteria Isolated from the Halocline of a Saline Meromictic Lake, Lake Suigetsu, Japan

Small cyanobacteria (<2 µm, pico-cyanobacteria) are abundant in waters deeper than the oxic-anoxic zone in the halocline of a saline meromictic lake, Lake Suigetsu, Fukui, Japan. We have isolated 101 strains that were grouped into six groups by means of the phycobiliprotein composition and sequence homology of the intergenic spacer between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes. Significant growth was obse...
