Bacterial activity in the sea-surface microlayer: in situ investigations in the Baltic Sea and the influence of sampling devices

The sea-surface microlayer (SML) is considered to be an 'extreme' environment. However, it is still unclear how bacteria that inhabit the SML (bacterioneuston) react to conditions within this interface. This deficiency is partly caused by the difficulty in obtaining representative samples....

Zusammenfassung:The sea-surface microlayer (SML) is considered to be an 'extreme' environment. However, it is still unclear how bacteria that inhabit the SML (bacterioneuston) react to conditions within this interface. This deficiency is partly caused by the difficulty in obtaining representative samples. Our aim was to examine different sampling devices and characterize bacterioneuston activity in the Baltic Sea. Initial in situ studies revealed a decreased incorporation of
