Seasonal and spatial distribution of Bacterioplankton in a fluvial-lagunar system of a tropical region: density, biomass, cellular volume and morphologic variation

Abstract: The temporal and spatial fluctuations of Bacterioplankton in a fluvial-lagunar system of a tropical region (Pitimbu River and Jiqui Lake, RN) (R=0.55; p=0.02) and vibrio (R=0.53; p=0.03). Significant spatial differences of biomass (Mann Whitney: p=0.01) and cellular volume of the morphotypes (Mann Whitney: p=0.003) were found between the sampling sites. The strong positive correlations of the water temperature and oxygen with bacterioplankton showed a probable high bacterial activity in this system.

“…These authors used the equation proposed by Simon and Azam (46) to calculate biomass, while in this study the Thiel-Nielsen and Søndergaard (50) factor was used. Converting the values, the mean found for this study gets closer to the one found in Araújo and Godinho (3), 0.47±0.30 mgC l -1 . Farjalla et al (23), using the conversion factor proposed by Fry (1988), approximately 3 times higher than the one used in this study, found values between 0.45 and 14.32 mgC l -1 in coastal lagoons (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), while the mean value of this study calculated by this factor is 1.69±1.09 mgC l -1 .…”

“…Tropical reservoirs are in many cases highly productive aquatic biotopes due to the input of organic materials from land and elevated internal primary production which, in addition to a strong capacity for mineralization, supplies the system continuously with inorganic nutrients (CunhaSantino and Bianchini Jr., 2003;Araújo and Godinho, 2008). Aggregates are considered a very important fraction of the particulate organic matter in these aquatic environments and are in general, heavily colonized by bacteria, becoming a site of intense activity of hydrolytic enzymes.…”
