Abstract
  • The purpose of this study was the quantification, through the comparison of different methods, of viable and metabolically active bacteria in marine environments. To quantify the living and active bacterioplankton fractions, we compared the total cell count (TC using DAPI staining), plate count on marine agar (CFU), and three viability-staining methods: nucleoid-containing cell count (NuCC), Live/Dead staining procedure (L/D) and direct viable count (DVC). With respect to TC (mean value 3.0+2.3 ? 105 cell ml21) CFU represented less than 0.1% and DVC cells 1%, both showing significant differences. NuCC and L/D cells were 18.0% and 15.9% of TC, respectively, showing no significant differences and higher percentages in the Ionian Sea than the Adriatic Sea. Moreover, NuCC and L/D were two orders of magnitude greater than the culturable fraction, while active cells (DVC) exceeded CFU by one order of magnitude. The comparison of different staining methods allowed us to confirm the simultaneous presence of different physiological states within the bacterial population in natural marine environments. The NuCC and L/D methods gave comparable values to those of other authors, while the DVC procedure gave lower values than previously reported. This research provides information on the fraction of living and/or metabolically active bacteria in aquatic ecosystems. Since each method has its own detection limits, the study highlights the need to simultaneously compare the different methods to validate their results. (literal)
