Studies on metabolic activity of planktonic bacteria isolated from three lakes
Abstract:
Studies were carried out on metabolic activity of 480 bacterial isolates on 9 substrates. All bacterial isolates studied except one utilized the casamino acids. Also with casamino acids the highest oxygen uptake values were obtained. Among the carbohydrates, glucose was most frequently utilized by the planktonic bacteria. Bacteria isolated from water of the various lakes differed in their metabolic activity as well as in the capability of utilizing the individual substrates. The capability of attacking by the bacteria the substrates applied depended largely upon the time of their isolation.
