Abstract

Comparison of the abundances of heterotrophic bacteria in the East and South China Seas by standard epifluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry revealed that Prochlorococcus was miscounted as heterotrophic bacteria in DAPI stained samples. This could result in 5-31% overestimations of heterotrophic bacterial abundance in the study areas
