Bacterial biomass production in an estuarine system: high variability of leucine conversion factors and changes in bacterial community structure during incubation

Heterotrophic bacterioplankton play a key role in the transfer of organic carbon from the dissolved pool into planktonic trophic webs. The accurate measurement of bacterial biomass production (BBP) is crucial for the establishment of carbon budgets in aquatic systems. Estimation of BBP from the inco...
