Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated bacterial carbon processing in Amazonian floodplain lakes and mainstems during high and low water phases, finding lower bacterial production compared to respiration.
- The research revealed that bacterial growth efficiency was low and variable, suggesting that most dissolved organic carbon was used for energy rather than growth.
- Hydrological changes influenced the relationship between bacterial metabolism and organic matter quality, indicating that respiration largely drives bacterial activity in these ecosystems.
