    Abundance of the entire bacterial community and the populations of C. acidovorans PX54 and A. hydrophila PU7718 in three depth layers of Lake Plußsee on 23 September 1996. Data for the characterization of water stratification and total bacterial abundance are taken from reference38.

    Fig. 5.

    Growth rate of the entire bacterial community and the populations of C. acidovorans PX54 and A. hydrophila PU7718 in size fractions of DOM. Growth rates were calculated as the slope of ln-transformed data of bacterial abundance versus time. Data are presented as means (± ranges) of duplicate incubations.

    Comparison of the growth rates in the natural bacterial community determined by using bacterial abundance (BA) and bacterial production (BP). Solid line, relationship of 1:1.r2 = 0.933.

    Metabolic comparison and ecological similarity of the strains . C. acidovorans PX54 andA. hydrophila PU7718. BIOLOG and API ZYM test systems were used to assess metabolic versatilities of the two populations. Note that duplicates of BIOLOG plates and API ZYM strips showed the same results. Total, total substrates used; AA, amino acids; CHO, carbohydrates; FA, fatty acids. (A) Comparison of metabolic versatility of PX54 to that of PU7718, calculated as the ratio of the number of substrates used or enzymes expressed by PX54 to the number of substrates used or enzymes expressed by PU7718. (B) Metabolic similarity as determined by the NOI.
