Below are examples of the running time-series cell counts generated from DAPI stained cells and with oligonucleotide FISH probes at the BATS site

 

 

Panel 1. Time series of prokaryotic cells that were postively stained with DAPI at BATS.

Panel 2. Time series of SAR11distribution in the upper 300 m at BATSin 2003.

Panel 2. Time series of Cytophaga-Flavobacteria distribtution in the upper 300 m at BATSin 2003.

 


Panel 2. Time series of Roseobacter cells in the upper 300 m at BATSin 2003.
This panel shows the change in bacterial biomass and coincident change in microbial community structure in response to nutrient amendment of glucose, ammonium, and phosphate. Click here for more details. How we do FISH at BATS
