Full-depth profile (0–2000 m) of bacteria, heterotrophic nanoflagellates and ciliates in the NW Mediterranean Sea: Vertical partitioning of microbial trophic structures

Abundance and biomass of free-living bacteria, heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) and ciliates were measured monthly throughout the water column at the French-JGOFS time-series station DYFAMED in the NW Mediterranean Sea from May 1999 to March 2000. These microbial heterotrophs decreased by one, tw...

Description
Summary:Abundance and biomass of free-living bacteria, heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) and ciliates were measured monthly throughout the water column at the French-JGOFS time-series station DYFAMED in the NW Mediterranean Sea from May 1999 to March 2000. These microbial heterotrophs decreased by one, two and three orders of magnitude, respectively, over depth (5–2000 m). Vertical profiles were well described by the log–log linear regression ( p
