The ability of bacteria to assimilate sulfur from dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) was examined in the western Arctic Ocean by combining microautoradiography and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Assimilation of leucine was also measured for comparative purposes since leucine is considered a universal substrate for bacteria, which use it for protein synthesis. Samples were collected at 3 m depth, through a hole in the ice, in the CASES (Canadian Arctic Shelf Ecosystem Study) overwintering station in Franklin Bay (eastern Beaufort Sea) in March and May 2004 to compare two contrasting situations: winter and early spring. FISH counts indicated that the bacterial assemblage consisted of alpha- (up to 60% of the EUB positive cells), beta- (up to 10%) and gamma-proteobacteria (around 20%), and Bacteroidetes (up to 60%). The beta-proteobacteria were not active with any of the two substrates tested. The remaining groups were much less efficient at assimilating DMSP-sulfur (5% of the cells) than leucine (20-35%) both in winter and in spring. Only the Roseobacter group of alpha-proteobacteria showed a similar assimilation of both substrates. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
