Abstract excerpt
One of the first comparisons of a natural iron fertilized bloom with a high-nutrient low-chlorophyll (HNLC) site was undertaken during the Kerguelen ocean and plateau compared study (KEOPS) cruise. To understand better the bacteria-phytoplankton relationship in the context of natural iron fertilization, bacterial diversity and activity was investigated in the bloom and in the adjacent HNLC region by 16S rDNA...
