These cultures are maintained in the Culture Collection of Microorganisms from Extreme Environments. The nanoclimate(the climate in the millimeter range, the environment of microorganisms) was continuously monitored for six years by automated satellite-mediated weather stations. 3, record 13, English, - nanoclimate

Dissolved organic matter(DOM) serves an important function in providing organic substrates for heterotrophic metabolism in fresh water environments. Its composition is highly variable, but in an ecosystem context it is most generally separated into labile and refractory fractions. The former is rapidly taken up by heterotrophic bacteria while the latter is very slowly acted upon. In both cases the DOM is partly assimilated to generate bacterial biomass and partly remineralized and excreted. 2, record 14, English, - dissolved%20organic%20matter

La plus grande partie du carbone inorganique total, C1, retrouvé dans les eaux provient du CO2 de l'atmosphère, du CO2 contenu dans les sols et de la mise en solution de minéraux carbonatés tels que la calcite.

This paper reports the relationship among pico-, nano-and microplanktonic communities observed in two different shallow marine hydrothermal environments. Seawater samples from five stations in the coastal area of the ’Porto di Levante’(Vulcano Island) and from three stations off the Island of Panarea(Eolian Islands, Italy) were collected in May and July of 1989, respectively. Micro-biological investigations were carried out in order to determine the density of :(i) the total picoplankton(both autotrophic and heterotrophic) ;(ii) the total picophytoplankton(autofluorescent picoplanktonic cells) ;(iii) the larger phytoplankton(>2 [mu] m) ;(iv) the ’metabolically active’ cells of total picoplankton and cyanobacteria;(v) the heterotrophic aerobic bacteria. 1, record 15, English, - picophytoplankton
