Draft Genome Sequence of Lewinella sp. Strain 4G2 Isolated from the Coastal Sea Surface Microlayer
We report here the draft genome of Lewinella sp. strain 4G2, isolated from the sea surface microlayer (SML) of a coastal marine inlet. The genome sequence of strain 4G2 should contribute to understanding the lifestyles of bacteria living in the SML.
متن کاملInvestigation of transport processes across the sea surface microlayer by infrared imagery
[1] Heat is used as a proxy tracer for gases to study the transport processes across the sea surface microlayer. Infrared imaging techniques permit fast measurements of heat transfer velocities and give an insight into the transport mechanisms across the thermal sublayer. The observed fluctuations of the sea surface temperature suggest that surface renewal is the major turbulent transport mecha...
متن کاملFine-scale variability in methanol uptake and oxidation: from the microlayer to 1000 m
The aim of this research was to make the first depth profiles of the microbial assimilation of methanol carbon and its oxidation to carbon dioxide and use as an energy source from the microlayer to 1000 m. Some of the highest reported methanol oxidation rate constants of 0.5– 0.6 d−1 were occasionally found in the microlayer and immediately underlying waters (10 cm depth), albeit these samples ...
متن کاملBiochemical characteristics and bacterial community structure of the sea surface microlayer in the South Pacific Ocean
The chemical and biological characteristics of the surface microlayer were determined during a transect across the South Pacific Ocean in October-December 2004. Concentrations of particulate organic carbon (1.3 to 7.6-fold) and nitrogen (1.4 to 7-fold), and POC:PON ratios were consistently higher in the surface microlayer as compared to surface waters (5 m). The large variability in particulate...
متن کاملPhysicochemical Characterization of Natural and ex-Situ Reconstructed Sea-Surface Microlayers.
Chemical composition and physico-chemical characteristics of natural and ex-situ reconstructed sea surface microlayer samples were studied using a complex methodological approach. Surface microlayer samples and the underlying seawater were collected in different seasons and different weather conditions in the northern most part of the Adriatic sea. The techniques used were thin layer chromatogr...
