| Abstract: | 12C/13C ratio is used as natural tracer for the estimation of the mineralizing activity of pelagic bacteria. Attention is particularly given to the variations of the isotopic ratio of the inorganic carbon produced by the microbial oxidation in comparison with the ratio of the dissolved organic matter. |
