Variación espacial y temporal del bacterioplancton en un reservorio de alta montaña en los Andes colombianos

Abstract

RESUMEN : La contribución del bacterioplancton (BP) a la trama trófica planctónica, así como los factores ambientales y biológicos involucrados en su control, son poco explorados en ambientes de alta montaña de las regiones tropicales. En el Embalse del Neusa, un sistema altoandino colombiano, se evaluó la dinámica espacio-temporal de la densidad, biovolumen y biomasa del BP y su relación con la variabilidad ambiental y la densidad de nanoplancton autótrofo (NA) y los nanoflagelados heterótrofos (NFH). No se registró una asociación clara entre la dinámica del BP y los nutrientes. Sin embargo, esta relación pareció ser indirecta a través de la estimulación de la producción del NA durante los periodos de mezcla y mayor precipitación de lluvia. Las mayores abundancias y biomasas de BP se detectaron en la estación litoral en coherencia con bajos números de NFH y posibles aportes orgánicos derivados de las macrófitas. El contenido total de carbono y el biovolumen promedio del BP se correlacionaron débilmente con la dinámica de NFH, atribuyéndose al predominio de la condición limitante por fósforo y a la remoción potencial de NFH y BP por parte de las fracciones zooplanctónicas mayores (>20 μm). Aproximadamente, 60% de la biomasa total procariota fue aportada por las formas pequeñas (<0.18 μm3). Los datos sugieren que la distribución de biovolúmenes podría ser resultado del efecto sinérgico entre la limitación de nutrientes y el pastoreo selectivo. La dinámica del BP en el embalse indica la existencia de un reservorio de carbono poco fluctuante y una transferencia ineficiente de carbono a través del ciclo microbiano a los niveles tróficos superiores.

ABSTRACT : The contribution of bacterioplankton (BP) to the planktonic food web, as well as environmental and biological factors involved in its control remains unexplored in tropical high mountain environments. In a tropical high-mountain aquatic system of Colombian, Neusa reservoir, the spatial and temporal dynamics of abundance, biovolume and biomass of BP were evaluated in relation to environmental variability and density of autotrophic nanoplankton (NA) and heterotrophic nanoflagellates (NFH). There was no clear association between BP dynamics and nutrients. However, this relationship appeared to be indirect through stimulation of NA production during periods of increased mixing and rainfall. The highest BP abundances and biomasses were detected in the littoral station in consistency with low numbers of NFH and potential organic inputs derived from macrophytes. The total cellular carbon and average cell biovolume of BP were weakly correlated with the dynamics of NFH, which was attributed to the predominance of phosphorus-limiting conditions and potential removal of NFH and BP by larger zooplankton fractions (> 20 μm). Approximately, 60% of the total prokaryotic biomass was provided by small sizes (<0.18 μm3). The data suggest that the distribution of cell biovolume could be the result of the synergistic effect between nutrient limitation and selective grazing. BP dynamics in the Neusa reservoir indicates the existence of a slightly fluctuating carbon reservoir and an inefficient carbon transfer through the microbial loop to higher trophic levels.
