| Abstract: | A specific community of heterotrophic microorganisms—bacterioneuston—was detected in the near surface microlayers of the sea (microhorizons 150 , 1–2 cm) by means of original methods and sampling devices. Investigation of bacterioneuston in the different seas (the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, the north-eastern part of the Pacific Ocean) revealed its peculiar features which are high content of microorganisms, its flourishing during the period of wind and wave action increase, a rich specific composition with a bright pigmentation of strains and somewhat specific biochemical properties.The ways and sources of bacterioneuston formation as well as its part in the life of water ecosystems are discussed in this paper. |
