Seasonal and spatial distribution of Bacterioplankton in a fluvial-lagunar system of a tropical region: density, biomass, cellular volume and morphologic variation
The temporal and spatial fluctuations of Bacterioplankton in a fluvial-lagunar system of a tropical region (Pitimbu River and Jiqui Lake, RN) were studied during the dry and the rainy periods. The bacterial abundance varied from 2.67 to 5.1 Cells10(7)mL-1 and did not show a typical temporal variatio...
