Patterns of ectoenzymatic and heterotrophic bacterial activities along a salinity gradient in a shallow tidal estuary

Bacterial heterotrophic communities play dominant roles in the transference of organic matter between compartments of estuarine ecosystems and, ultimately, between estuaries and the open sea. In this scenario, we investigated the responses of inflowing limnetic bacteria to the salinity gradient and...
