Sažetak
Flow cytometry was used for the first time to determine the abundance of picoplankton in the Boka Kotorska Bay, the Montenegrian part of Adriatic Sea. The abundance of non-pigmented bacteria and Prochlorococcus were determined at three coastal stations from August 2009 to January 2011. The firstly recorded occurrences of Prochlorococcus were obtained. Non-pigmented bacteria abundance ranged from 105 to 106 cells mL-1. Prochlorococcus abundance renged from 0 to 104 cells mL-1. The seasonal distribution of non-pigmented bacteria showed an increase in abundance during the warmer period and decrease during the winter. The seasonal distribution of Prochlorococcus showed an increase in abundance during the late summer to mid-autumn 2009 and spring 2010. The highest abundance of bacteria and Prochlorococcus was found in Orahovac, Kotor Bay. The abundance of bacteria and Prochlorococcus was influenced by temperature at the surface layers.
