Abstract
Diurnal variations in glucose uptake in different size fractions of freshwater microheterotrophs were measured during two twenty-four hour surveys in the eutrophic lake Mossø, Denmark. Sampling at three-hour intervals revealed 3–4 fold irregular variations in glucose uptake. The percentage uptake (percentage of total uptake) in one size fraction was relatively constant throughout the surveys. Single sampling is discussed in relation to diurnal variations in glucose uptake and the distribution of attached and free-living microheterotrophs in eutrophic lake water.
