摘要
Bacterial populations associated with the rhizosphere and rhizoplane of Myriophyllum heterophyllum were studied in the littoral zone of a soft water, mesotrophic lake during the period of active growth of the plants. The composition of the rhizoplane community was found to differ distinctly from that of the adjacent sediments, while the population density of heterotrophic bacteria in each environment did not differ significantly. Higher populations of bacteria capable of nitrate reduction and ammonification did occur in the rhizoplane. Nitrogen-fixing (acetylene-reducing) activity was significantly higher on the root surface than in the sediment. The intensity of the rhizosphere effect was apparently related to the bimodal productivity cycle of Myriophyllum communities.
