Bericht über das Helgoländer Arbeitstreffen der deutschen Gewässermikrobiologen, Juni 1964

Abstract

In order to stimulate scientific contacts between the few German microbiologists devoted to studying the ecology of aquatic microorganisms, and to work out agreements on methodical problems, a meeting was held at the marine station of the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland from June 24 to 26, 1964. The main topic discussed was: “The methods used in aquatic microbiology”. The present report contains summaries of the papers presented, some of the discussions and a brief description of different microbiological methods demonstrated by the participants (different types of samplers, sampling from board of the research vessel “Uthörn”, culture media, counting techniques and determination of bacterial activity). The second meeting on the same subject will be held in Plön, West Germany, in 1965.
