Nuclepore filters were found to release dissolved organic carbon during selective filtration.In two-stage continuous cultures, ingestion rates of HNAN increased from 2.3 to 9.2 bacteria.HNAN -1.h -1, at specific growth rates from 0.15 to 0.65 day -1.On a yeast extract medium with a molar C/N/P ratio of 100/15/1.2 (Redfield ratio), a mixed bacterial population had a gross growth efficiency of 18% (C/C) and a specific carbon content of 211 fg C .micro- m -3, at a biovolume of 0.14 C .micro- m -3.
