Abstract:
Planktonic microbial communities play an important role in controlling the CO flux between the atmosphere and the ocean. C-uptake
(primary and bacterial production) have been analysed more extensively than mineralization processes (community respiration). This
has given to rise to a gap for a complete knowledge of C-flux in the marine environment. The research activity conducted in the frame
of the EU Project SESAME (WP 3.8.2) provided new data on biological processes in the Cilician Basin. This area showed the
heterotrophic nature of the off-shore site (P/R<1) with the potential to represent a consisting CO source.
