Abstract

Results demonstrate the existence of strong bacterioplankton patchiness at centimetre scale, the bacterioplankton community appearing as homogeneous when sampling at larger or smaller scales. A representation of the in situ spatial distribution of the bacterioplankton depicts the community as composed of high density (>10⁷ bacteria ml^-1) bacterial patches scattered within a "matrix' of low bacterial density (10⁵ bacteria ml^-1). -from Authors
