Abstract
-
1.
The authors examined the relationship between extracellular production of green hydrosulphuric bacteria (Chlorobium limicola Nads) and extracellular production of phytoplankton using radioactive carbon. Dark assimilation of carbon was also taken into consideration.
-
2.
Mean values of extracellular production of phytoplankton were 58.40% (stand II) and 65.2% (stand I) of cellular production, and for extracellular production of Chlorobium limicola the values were respectively 44.7% (stand II) and 70.7% (stand I). On average 70.8% of carbon assimilated in the dark filtered outside the cell in case of phytoplankton, and 31.0%-in case of Chlorobium limicola.
-
3.
Extracellular and cellular production in case of phytoplankton and Clorobium limicola was calculated for 1 square metre of the water column.
