dc.description.abstract | Between October 1990 and August 1991 colony-forming unit (CFU) bacteria at the centre of the Ría de Vigo, Spain, comprised on average 1% of total bacterioplankton, with a maximum of 6.8% in mid-April. In contrast to relatively small fluctuations in total bacterioplankton, fluctuations in CFUs were considerable, with the coefficient of variation ranging from 112 to 233%. Over 40% of the variance in CFU abundance in the surface layer during the whole period of observations (winter and summer) could be explained through an equation relating logCFU to incoming solar radiation, and during the summer months through another equation relating logCFU to upwelling. Both physical factors enhanced CFU concentrations. Biological variables, such as total bacterioplankton, chlorophyll and heterotrophic flagellates, had no further effect on the explained variance. At the bottom of the photic zone, runoff and upwelling accounted for between 29 and 50% of the variance in CFU counts. In this layer, biological variables had a great influence on CFU abundance, increasing the explained variance to 61% for the whole period studied. In this case, chlorophyll was negatively related to logCFU suggesting that the CFU bacterial fraction was more abundant in the water column after the decline of the phytoplankton blooms and after the corresponding release of bacteria attached to particles. At the bottom of the water column, seawater temperature was the only important factor in explaining the variance in CFU counts (36%), with logCFU and temperature being positively related. We hypothesise that 3 factors are prominent in controlling the CFU standing stock: solar radiation and upwelling stimulate the synthesis of particulate organic matter in surface waters, providing a food source for CFU bacteria, and terrestrial runoff which dilutes bacterial numbers. Based on cluster analyses of physiological tests, on pure bacterial isolates from 2 contrasting sampling dates, we show that prevailing hydro- and meteorological conditions select for different bacterial species in the CFU community. Lower CFU counts and diversity within the population, plus lower frequencies of positive responses in physiological tests arose through very high upwelling and NW winds which introduced CFU-poor water masses from the Atlantic Ocean into the Ría de Vigo. Conversely, terrestrial runoff and NE winds enhanced diversity within this population at the centre of the estuary, through the introduction of terrestrial bacteria or those from shallow waters; these were characterised by higher numbers of positive responses in physiological tests. | en_US |
