Impact of UV radiation on bacterioplankton community composition
Article Abstract:
UV radiation apparently has little effect on bacterioplankton communities in the North Sea. Only 10% of the bacterioplankton present in seawater samples were affected by UV radiation.

Relationship between bacterioplankton richness, respiration, and production in the southern North Sea
Article Abstract:
The relationship between bacterioplankton production (BP), respiration (BR), and community composition measured by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism in the southern North Sea over a seasonal cycle is investigated. The results indicate that despite the observed shifts in the community composition, the main function of the bacterioplakton, the remineralization of dissolved organic carbon to CO2, is rather stable.

Rapid recovery of marine bacterioplankton activity after inhibition by UV radiation in coastal waters
Article Abstract:
Photoenzymatic repair (PER) was compared to other repair mechanisms in terms of its capacity to restor bacterioplankton activity in coastal waters after inhibition by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Results reveal that PER can effectively restore bacterial activity due to dissolved organic matter photolysis. Results also indicate the importance of considering highly dynamic radiation conditions when conducting studies on the effects of UV on carbon and energy flux in the ocean's upper layer.
