TitleDeep-chlorophyll maximum time series in a transitional area of the Augusta Gulf (Sicily): microbial community structures and functions.
AbstractAn integrated study was carried out to follow the temporal evolution of microbiological parameters during a 48 h period, in relation to the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) at a coastal station. The micro-organisms showed an active role in the environment and a different distribution, without a clear diel cycle. The phytoplankton community, responsible for the DCM, consisted mainly of diatoms. Their distribution in relation to pycnocline showed an opposite trend with respect to picophytoplankton. Total bacterioplankton contributed to enzymatic degradation of particulated organic carbon (by producing ?-glucosidase and aminopeptidase), with peaks related to changes in the main water current. We estimated that about 25% of particulate organic carbon per day may be hydrolysed by bacteria. The living bacterioplankton represented 20% of the total. The picophytoplankton fraction contributed significantly to the high values of alkaline phosphatase, suggesting a fast P regeneration. Respiration showed significant correlation with the physical and chemical parameters as well as with the different planktonic fractions.
