    Description: The test compound p-nitrophenol during summer normally is rapidly degraded in the freshwater area of the Elbe river. In contrast, degradation of PNP is decreased significantly during periods of low temperature or low oxygen content. Thus the xenobiotic compound is carried to the North Sea. In estuarine and marine environments the degradation of PNP is diminished step by step towards the open sea and is finally ceased completely, mostly as a result of increasing salinity.

    Description: Between 28 August and 5 September 1982 thirty water samples (5 m depth) were taken on a transect between the Bothnian Bay and the Kiel Bight. Despite substantially differing hydrographical situations within the different subregions of the Baltic Sea, the total bacterial numbers showed a remarkable regional uniformity. Bacterial numbers fluctuated between 3 and 4 x 106 cells ml-1. A distinct pattern was observed: mean bacterial cell volumes were high in the Bothnian Bay (0.145 µm3) and low in the Gotland- and Bornholm Sea (0.094 and 0.091 µm3, respectively). The bacterial biomass fell in the range of 184 - 117 µg C 1-1. The activity parameters were somewhat more variable than bacterial numbers and biomass.

    Description: An acclimated mixed culture of degrading bacteria and a degradable substance (4-Nitrophenol) were introduced into differently treated water samples. It could be shown that in all cases where an acclimated inoculum was used, degradation took place almost immediately compared to not acclimated cultures, where it took at least 10 days. The rate and extent of mineralization was influenced by low temperature, the presence of other organic nutrients and especially protozoan grazing. The data suggest that one of the main reasons for the acclimation period was the very small initial population of degrading bacteria. The role of other carbon sources is ambivalent. Low concentrations of organic chemicals which cannot sustain growth slow down acclimation and the degradation rate. Another important factor slowing down growth is grazing by protozoa, which can inhibit effective degradation.

    Description: Studies on the Mediterranean Undercurrent in the Gulf of Cádiz showed that bacterial abundance and biomass as well as heterotrophic activity were higher in the water of Mediterranean origin in 500–800 m depth than in the adjacent Atlantic water. Upwelling processes off Mauretania and Portugal were accompanied by high bacterial numbers (bacterial plate counts) in the mixed surface layer. Changes in the qualitative composition of the bacterial flora in the waters off West Africa and in the Arabian Gulf were explained by the introduction of dust from desert regions into the sea by aeolian transport. In the Western Baltic migration of fish was detected by the presence of special bacteria, which normally live on or in these animals. Regions with complex hydrographic structures such as the Western and Central Baltic Sea revealed interesting relationships between bacteriological abundance and activity on the one hand and characteristic physical and chemical properties, such as origin, salinity and O2/H2S‐content, on the other. The importance of bacteriological variables for the characterization of different water bodies is discussed.

    Description: Denitrification was investigated in the Baltic proper at two stations with different conditions in the deep water. The Gotland Deep was examined as an example of a basin with anoxic, H2S‐containing deep water and station T was taken as an example of low‐oxygen (〈0.2 ml liter−1), sulfide‐free deep water. Denitrification was measured by the acetylene blockage method; in addition, N2O reduction was followed in samples without acetylene. To shed light on the factors limiting denitrification, we compared in situ rates to denitrification after adding nitrate or electron donors. Denitrification was restricted to the layer of the oxic‐anoxic interface in the Gotland Deep and to the water layer near the sediment of station T. For both stations it could be shown that denitrification was not limited by nitrate availability. A lack of available organic C seemed to limit denitrification rates and growth of denitrifiers. As a result of C limitation in the water column, denitrification was restricted to energy‐rich interfaces. In the low‐oxygen water away from energy‐rich interfaces, the less C‐demanding nitrification‐denitrification coupling (NH4+ → N2O → N2) seemed to be favored. Denitrification in the water of the central Baltic seems to be subjected to strong variability due to changing C supply during the course of the year. However, limitation by C availability can be assumed for most of the year and should be taken into account in calculating the N budget of the Baltic.

    Description: Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate were regularly estimated at several stations in the Kieler Bucht (western Baltic Sea) since November 1964. There are considerable seasonal changes in the contents of these 3 nitrogen compounds with impressive maxima of nitrite and nitrate in February or at the beginning of March. The great increase of nitrite and nitrate during the winter and also a smaller increase in summer are mainly caused by oxidation of ammonia, first to nitrite and then to nitrate, by nitrifying bacteria. In consequence chemoautotrophic nitrite- and nitratebacteria could be found in the water as well as in sediments all over the Kieler Bucht and also in the North Sea around the isle of Helgoland. These nitrifying bacteria are able to oxidize ammonia or nitrite in salinity conditions typical for the western Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

    Description: An vier Tidenzyklus-Stationen von 21 bis 36 Std. Dauer wurde auf einem Längsschnitt von Hamburg bis zur Außenelbe untersucht, welchen Anteil die Bakterien am Abbau der organischen Substanz haben. Der Gesamt-Abbau durch die planktische Organismengemeinschaft wurde aus dem Sauerstoffverbrauch mit einem angenommenen Respirationsquotienten von 0,85 bestimmt. Der bakterielle Abbau wurde über die Biomasse-Produktion und die Wachstums-Effizienz der Bakterien ermittelt. Die Tidenzyklus-Stationen mit einer hohen zeitlichen Auflösung zeigten eine große Variabilität der Abbauprozesse während der Gezeiten. Die Mittelwerte ergaben, dass der Gesamt-Abbau im oberen noch limnischen Bereich 10,2 μg C l-1 h-1 betrug mit einem bakteriellen Anteil von 82%. Flussabwärts ging der Gesamt-Abbau auf 2,7 μg C l-1 h-1 zurück und der bakterielle Anteil belief sich auf rd. 50 %. Der Längsschnitt von Hamburg bis Neuwerk mit einer hohen räumlichen Auflösung zeigte eine grundsätzlich ähnliche regionale Verteilung. Der hohe Anteil des bakteriellen Abbaus in dem oberen limnischen Ästuarbereich geht darauf zurück, dass das hier aus dem Mittellauf der Elbe eingeschwemmte Phytoplankton infolge Lichtmangels größtenteils abstirbt. Die Ursachen liegen in der großen Wassertiefe des Hamburger Hafengebietes und der starken Gezeitendurchmischung der Wassersäule. Dadurch vermindert sich die Respiration des Phytoplanktons und die Abbautätigkeit ist daher im Wesentlichen auf die Bakterien und das Zooplankton beschränkt. Von diesen beiden verbleibenden Hauptkomponenten des Flussplanktons spielen die Bakterien die wichtigere Rolle beim Abbau der organischen Substanz im Elbe-Ästuar.

    Description: Der Nord-Ostsee-Kanal ist ein Brackwasserbiotop, der sich durch einen relativ hohen Salzgehalt in seinem östlichen Teil, einem fast ausgesüßten mittleren Bereich und einem leichten Salzgehaltsanstieg auf den letzten westlichen Kilometern auszeichnet. In seiner westlichen Hälfte ist die Wassertrübung deutlich höher als in der östlichen. Die Bakterienzahl lag nahe der Schleuse Kiel-Holtenau zwischen 3,6 und 7,9 x 10 hoch 9 l hoch -1 Zellen, von denen 0 bis 9,5 % an Partikeln angeheftet waren. In Richtung Westen nahmen die Bakterienzahl und der Prozentsatz der partikelgebundenen Bakterien fast linear zu und erreichten in der Nähe der Schleuse Brunsbüttel mit 11,5 bis 18,0 x 10 hoch 9 l hoch -1 Zellen und 80-94 % partikelgebundenen Bakterien ihre Maxima. Trübungsgehalt, Bakterienzahl und Prozentsatz der partikelgebundenen Bakterien waren hoch signifikant miteinander korreliert. Die Mittelwerte der bakteriellen Aktivität (gemessen als Leucin-Inkorporation), die zwischen 45 pmol l hoch -1 h hoch -1 im Januar und 383 pmol l hoch -1 h hoch -1 im Juli lagen, zeigten den großen Einfluss der sommerlichen Temperaturzunahme. Die maximalen Werte der spezifischen Leucin-Inkorporation erreichten rd. 80 pmol h hoch -1 10 hoch -9 Bakterien. Die Umsatzraten von Acetat, das als Repräsentant für die niedermolekularen gelösten organischen Verbindungen verwendet wurde, beliefen sich auf Werte zwischen 7 und 34,1 % h-1 (Mittelwerte über den gesamten NOK). Die Erneuerungszeit für den Acetat-"Pool" lag demnach zwischen rund 14 h (Januar) und 3 h (April).
