Heterotrophic bacteria in epiphyton of higher aquatic plants in the Ivankovo Reservoir

Аннотация

Concentrations of heterotrophic bacteria have been measured in the epiphyton of seven species of higher aquatic plants in the Ivankovo Reservoir. The abundance and biomass of the bacterioepiphyton range from 64.1 × 10⁶ to 283.7 × 10⁶ cells/сm² and from 1.6 to 6.7 μg С/сm². Maximum values are recorded in the epiphyton of emergent aquatic plants.
