TABLE 1.
Surface-derived BP
| Surface | BP that remained associated with surfacea (mg of C m−3 day−1) | BP displaced from the surfaceb (mg of C m−3 day−1) | Total surface-derived BP (mg of C m−3 day−1) | % Total surface-derived BP that detached |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silicon | 0.024 | 0.072 | 0.096 | 75 |
| Chitin | 0.068 | 2.060 | 2.128 | 96.8 |
| Squid pen chitin | NDc | 4.17 | ND | ND |
a
Based on total cells attached to 2.0 cm2 of surface at 200 h postinoculation and the total volume of seawater that passed through the LFCs over the 200-h period.
b
Based on CFU recovered from effluent samples collected over entire 200-h period.
c
ND, not determined.
