Low Abundances but High Growth Rates of Coastal Heterotrophic Bacteria in the Red Sea

Low Abundances but High Growth Rates of Coastal Heterotrophic Bacteria in the Red Sea

Characterized by some of the highest naturally occurring sea surface temperatures, the Red Sea remains unexplored regarding the dynamics of heterotrophic prokaryotes. Over 16 months, we used flow cytometry to characterize the abundance and growth of four physiological groups of heterotrophic bacteri...
