Macrophyte influence on the structure and productivity of photosynthetic picoplankton in wetlands
We used multiple approaches to analyze photosynthetic picoplankton (PPP) structure and production in a wetland in the Lower Paraná Basin (Argentina). A seasonal field survey was combined with an experimental study to analyze PPP variability under different light conditions. Flow cytometry analyses s...

We used multiple approaches to analyze photosynthetic picoplankton (PPP) structure and production in a wetland in the Lower Paraná Basin (Argentina). A seasonal field survey was combined with an experimental study to analyze PPP variability under different light conditions. Flow cytometry analyses showed differences in PPP structure among the aquatic environments. Three main picoplankton populations were distinguished: phycocyanin-rich picocyanobacteria (Pcy), picoeukaryote (Peuk) and anaerobic anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria (AnAnPB). The experimental study revealed important changes in PPP structure in relation to the light conditions imposed by floating plants: enclosures exposed to light showed a higher proportion of Peuk and Pcy over AnAnPB; in mesocosms covered by plants, just as in the highly vegetated relict lakes (ROLs), AnAnPB were dominant. Total picophytoplankton abundances varied from 1.7 × 104 to 4.6 × 105 cells mL-1 in the shallow lakes, and were lower (0.69 × 10 4 to 2.5 × 105 cells mL-1) in the ROLs.
