Sažetak
Simultaneous effect of temperature, concentration of chl a and bacterial production on bacterial abundance, as well as of temperature, bacterial abundance and bacterial production on heterotrophic nanoflagellate (HNF) abundance were studied monthly from January 1997 to December 1998 in the coastal middle Adriatic Sea. The results showed that bacterial abundance was not limited by substrate supply. The effect of temperature on bacterial abundance was very high, and temperature obscured the effect of bacterial production, suggesting that bacterial growth itself is highly temperature dependent. About 60% of the variability in HNF abundance can be explained with bacterial abundance, bacterial production and temperature.
