| Abstract |
Oxygen consumption is used to study the dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) utilization by bacteria. Incubation experiments (20d) for different dates and in different estuarine locations resulted in similar total oxygen utilization; however, the time to obtain maximum BOD was markedly different. In these experiments the maximum rate of oxygen consumption frequently occurred within the first 24 h. In 24-h incubation experiments, oxygen uptake and bacteria production was commonly fastest during the first six h. Rapid oxygen consumption corresponded to a proportional bacterial production. These experiments indicated that a small, highly labile component of the DOC pool supported a large fraction of bacterial production. |
