Abstract

- Heterotrophic microflagellates isolated from the Baltic Sea and grown under laboratoryconditions were shown to release dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) when grazing bacteria. Flagellatesreleased 3H-amino acids when fed 3H-leucine-labelled bacteria, and concentrations of aminoacids increased in the experimental medium. Serine showed a strong positive correlation withflagellate feeding. Aspartic acid, glutamic acid and ornithine also increased more than other aminoacids. During consumption of bacteria, the flagellates released 13% of the ingested nitrogen asammonia, and 30 % of the ingested phosphorus as phosphate. In a field experiment off Scripps Pier, wemeasured bacterial production, flagellate abundance, and concentration of DFAA over a 28 h period.The concentration of DFAA showed a covariation with the flagellate numbers. Results from our fieldand laboratory experiments suggest that flagellates may be a source of DFAA in the sea.
