Marine Microbiology : North-Western Mediterranean Sea Cruise

Dr. G. Gregori (University of “La Mediterranee” : Laboratoire de Microbiologie , Geochimie et Ecologie Marine CNRS UMR 6117) took the A40-MiniFCM on board the research vessel TETHYS II (CNRS-INSU) during the “POTES mer” cruise. SYBR Green I for nucleic acid content and propidium iodide for cell membrane integrity (viability) along with light scatter characteristics were used to measure the abundance of marine bacteria at a variety of depths.
