Abstract

The evaluation of whether bacteria with higher cell-specific nucleic acid content (HNA) or an active electron transport system are responsible for the bulk of bacterioplankton metabolic activity and also whether the phylogenetic diversity of HNA and CTC (5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tertazolium chloride)-positive cells differed from the diversity of Bacteria with low nucleic acid content (LNA) are reported. The results show that LNA bacteria are not much different from HNA bacteria in either cell-specific rates of substrate incorporation or phylogenetic composition.
