October 2001 surface water bacterial productivity at ten Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER sampling sites

Surface water samples were collected during low tide survays near ten Georgia Coastal Ecosystem LTER sampling sites in October, 2001. The incorporation of tritiated leucine in unfiltered samples during one hour incubations was measured using a standard microcentrifuge method to estimate bacterial productivity in each sample. This study was part of the GCE-LTER hydrographic monitoring program, and will be repeated quarterly.

2001年10月，在佐治亚海岸生态系统长期生态研究（Georgia Coastal Ecosystem LTER）的10个采样站点附近开展低潮勘测期间，采集了地表水样本。本研究采用标准微量离心法，对未过滤样本在1小时孵育过程中的氚标记亮氨酸（tritiated leucine）掺入量进行测定，以此估算每份样本中的细菌生产力。本研究属于GCE-LTER水文监测计划的一部分，后续将按季度重复开展。
