Abstract

Concentrations of heterotrophic bacteria have been measured in the epiphyton of seven species of higher aquatic plants in the Ivankovo Reservoir. The abundance and biomass of the bacterioepiphyton range from 64.1 × 106 to 283.7 × 106 cells/сm2 and from 1.6 to 6.7 μg С/сm2. Maximum values are recorded in the epiphyton of emergent aquatic plants.
