Neustonic Bacteria Number, Biomass and Taxonomy

Abstract

This paper presents results of research concerning bacteria inhabiting the surface microlayer and subsurface water of the eutrophic lake Jeziorak Maty. Total number, biomass and share of heterotrophic bacteria was higher in surface microlayer than in subsurface water. Identification shows significant differences between genera of bacteria inhabiting surface biofilm and subsurface water.
