Bacterial Biomass and N Production in the Euphotic Zone

该奖项支持开发和测试一个 小颗粒氮的分析方法 样品 这些技术将用于评估 细菌在氮吸收中的作用 透光带 该项目的外地部分将是 在国际海洋学 挪威人（Pro Mare）。 的活动 海洋表面沃茨中的各种微生物 大大 这项工作将有助于澄清 利用溶解氮的细菌 作为生物生产力的营养素的化合物， 大海

This award supports the development and testing of a analytical procedures for small (1 um) particulate nitrogen samples. These techniques will then be used to assess the role of bacteria in the nitrogen uptake measured in the euphotic zone. The field component of this project will be done in the context of an international oceanographic project with the Norwegians (Pro Mare). The activities of the various microorganisms in surface ocean waters differ greatly. This work will help clarify the specific roles of the bacteria in the utilization of dissolved nitrogen compounds that are nutrients for biological productivity in the sea.
