摘要
Free-living coccoid bacteria were isolated from the Mediterranean Sea and cultured in detritus- and predator-free seawater, either unenriched or slightly nutrient-supplemented. The modal diameter of these cultured cells was in the 0.5-1 μm range. The spectral values (within the 400-750 nm λ-range) of absorption, total scattering and backscattering were determined, together with cell enumeration, size distribution and C-N content. The bacterial compartment appears to form a significant contribution to the light scattering within the upper part of the ocean as well as in forming a sizeable fraction of the particulate organic carbon pool. -from Authors
