Significance of Algal Excretory Products for Growth of Epilimnetic Bacteria

RESUMO
Light-stimulated uptake of 14CO2 and differential filtration through Nucleopore filters were used to estimate the significance of phytoplankton excretion as a source of bacterial carbon in water samples collected at different seasons of the year in Lake Mendota, Wis. On an annual basis, about 14% of the estimated bacterial production was accounted for by algal excretion, although at certain times of year the fraction of bacterial carbon derived from algal excretion was considerably higher. About 20% of the annual primary production was estimated to pass through the bacterial component.
