Correlation between chemical composition and the presence of selected groups of bacteria in freshwater samples collected from Isfjorden and Billefjorde
Abstract
The average concentrations of pollutants in the arctic water, snow and the atmosphere are much lower than those observed in the temperate climate. Specific conditions occurring in the polar regions have apotential to accumulate the pollutants transported from other parts of the world. In this study, attempts were made to find a correlation between selected chemical components and the bacterial population. The analysis involved 11 samples of water collected from rivers and streams flowing into Isfjorden and Billefjorde in summer 2017 (Spitsbergen, Svalbard). Water samples were analysed in order to determine the concentration of various substances such as PAHs, metals, main cations, and anions. Additionally, parameters such as pH, SEC, TOC, number, average size and biomass of bacterioplankton were also measured. On the basis of the obtained results, it was impossible to determine the relationship between the measured substances and the bacterial community.
