Occurrence of Chitinolytic Bacteria in Water and Bottom Sediment of Eutrophic Lakes in Iławskie Lake District
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study was carried out on the occurrence of chitinolytic bacteria inhabiting surface water, water above the sediment and bottom sediments of lakes: Jeziorak, Jeziorak Maty and Tynwald. The greatest amounts of them were found in demersal water and in bottom sediment surface stratum. However, the percentage share of chitinolytic bacteria proved greater in deep water (9.35%) than in bottom sediments (2.16%). Surface water and the part just over the sediment contained most chitinolytic bacteria in a heavily eutrophicated lake Jeziorak Maty located in a town (11.9% and 12.6% respectively), whereas they inhabited bottom sediments in large amounts in lake Jeziorak (2.9%). The most abundant among chitinolytic bacteria were the genera of: Achromobacter, Bacillus and family of Enterobacteriaceae.

Factors controlling bacteria and protists in selected Mazurian eutrophic lakes (North-Eastern Poland) during spring
BACKGROUND The bottom-up (food resources) and top-down (grazing pressure) controls, with other environmental parameters (water temperature, pH) are the main factors regulating the abundance and structure of microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems. It is still not definitively decided which of the two control mechanisms is more important. The significance of bottom-up versus top-down control...

Implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive will call for new lake monitoring and management strategies. Therefore, different methods need to be tested in order to achieve reliable assessment of lake background conditions and water quality. Sediment-based techniques provide one such tool for lake management. In this work, 10 lakes, presumed to be naturally eutrophic, were investigated wi...

Effects of high water levels on the abundance of colony-forming units of eutrophic and oligotrophic bacteria were investigated. Changes in their proportion were exploited as the biological indicator of organic substrate availability. it was also reconsidered, to a certain extent, which source (autochtonous or allochtonous) of organic substrate and bacteria prevails during floods. Water samples ...

In either eutrophic Dianchi Lake or mesotrophic Erhai Lake, the abundance, diversity, and structure of archaeaplankton communities in spring were different from those in summer. In summer, archaeaplankton abundance generally decreased in Dianchi Lake but increased in Erhai Lake, while archaeaplankton diversity increased in both lakes. These two lakes had distinct archaeaplankton community struc...
