SURFACE-DEPTH AND COASTAL-OCEAN GRADIENTS IN DIVERSITY AND ACTIVITY OF PROKARYOTES IN THE CANARY CTZ REGION Federico Baltar1, Javier Arístegui1, Gerhard J.

However, very few studies have addressed their patterns of distribution, or the relative importance of bulk and groupspecific prokaryotic activity in the dark ocean.
Here we report results of the differential distribution in the water column of the major prokaryotic groups, including Archaea and Bacteria (Crenarchaeota, Euryarchaeota, SAR 11, Roseobacter, Gammaproteobacteria and Cytophaga-Flavobacterium), along a transect stretching from the eutrophic waters of the NW Africa upwelling to the oligotrophic waters of the Canary Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) region.
We used the catalyzed reported deposition FISH (CARD-FISH) technique, together with measurements of leucine incorporation, to look at coastal-ocean and surfacedepth patterns of distribution in the abundance and metabolism of Bacteria and Archaea, related to the hydrography and presence of distinct water masses in this heterogeneous region.
From surface to depth a marked substitution between SAR11 (ranging from 42% to 4% in the Deep Chlorophyll Maximum (DCM) and 2000 m depth respectively) and Crenarchaeota (ranging from 1% to 39% in the DCM and Oxygen Minimum (OM) respectively) was observed.
A clear influence of the different intermediate water masses was also observed in the prokaryotic bulk heterotrophic activity, with lower values at the stations where Antarctic Intermediate Water was detected.
Crenarchaeota and gammaproteobacteria increased in abundance in ...
