Fact or Fiction-Bacterial Growth Rates and Production as Determined by [methyl-3H]-Thymidine?

  • Chapter
Advances in Microbial Ecology

Part of the book series: Advances in Microbial Ecology ((AMIE,volume 13))

Abstract

Bacteria play key roles in the functioning of natural aquatic systems: they are major decomposers of organic matter and are important in energy and nutrient cycling and transformations. While their importance in the water column and sediments of inland and marine systems is widely acknowledged, there is also growing evidence to their importance in vast regions of the terrestrial subsurface (Ghiorse and Wilson, 1988).
