Zur quantitativen Verteilung von Bakterien und Hefen in einem Gezeitenstrand der Nordseeküste

Zur quantitativen Verteilung von Bakterien und Hefen in einem Gezeitenstrand der Nordseeküste 227 1 1 4 4 W. Westheide Biologische anstalt helgoland, Litoralstation List Germany II. Zoologisches Institut der Universität Berliner Straße 28 Göttingen Germany Abstract On a sandy beach of the island Sylt (North Sea) bacteria and yeasts are distributed according to a characteristic pattern. In regard to the vertical distribution, the highest bacteria numbers are found on the surface area of the sediment (14 million per 1 cc of fresh sediment); there is a continuous decrease with depth. The lowest bacteria numbers are those from the underground water region (20,000 per 1 cc). The highest number of yeasts is 200 per 1 cc of sand. The horizontal distribution has 2 maxima, 1 in the sandy mud flats and 1 in the supralittoral zone, with a bacteria abundance minimum inbetween on the beach slope. Actinomycetes have been identified only in the middle and upper part of the beach slope. In May and August (1967) the average number of bacteria was nearly twice as high as in October, December and March. No definite relation was noted between the abundance of bacteria and yeasts on the one hand, and organic substance and oxygen availability, on the other. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Marine Biology Springer Journals
