In order to evaluate quantitative and qualitative luminescent bacteria distribution, 101 seawater samples from 5 stations along a section Balearic Islands - Sardinia (Western Mediterranean Sea) were analysed during January 2012 and compared with data from May 2010. Luminescent bacteria plate counts showed a patchiness distribution that increases in the intermediate layer and at its interface with Deep Waters. An ARDRA analysis on isolated strains was carried out to evaluate the microbial diversity of the luminous communities and one or two selected representative for each ARDRA group were identified via the 16S rDNA sequencing.

Abstract
In order to evaluate quantitative and qualitative luminescent bacteria distribution, 101 seawater samples from 5 stations along a section Balearic Islands - Sardinia (Western Mediterranean Sea) were analysed during January 2012 and compared with data from May 2010. Luminescent bacteria plate counts showed a patchiness distribution that increases in the intermediate layer and at its interface with Deep Waters. An ARDRA analysis on isolated strains was carried out to evaluate the microbial diversity of the luminous communities and one or two selected representative for each ARDRA group were identified via the 16S rDNA sequencing.File in questo prodotto:
