Biomass and production of bacteria along the trophic gradient in the Central Adriatic

Bacterioplankton biomass and production, as well as chlorophyll a were measured at five sites extended along trophic gradient. The ratio of bacterial abundance in the oligotrophic system to that in the eutrophic system was 1:4. Bacterial production values along the trophic gradient increased far more than the bacterial abundance. The ratio of bacterial production in the oligotrophic area to that in the eutrophic area was 1:21. Production/biomass (P(B) ratio increased, as well, from the oligotrophic system where it was 0.9 to the eutrophic system were P/B ratio was 4.4
