Diel and depth variations in dissolved free amino acids and ammonium in the Baltic Sea determined by shipboard HPLC analysis1

Mopper, Kenneth, Lindroth, Peter·1982·Limnology and Oceanography

Abstract

A precolumn fluorimetric labeling method was tested for shipboard HPLC analysis of dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) in natural waters. No sample preparation is required and all naturally occurring amino acids plus ammonium are sufficiently separated within 30 min. Striking diel trends were observed to a depth of at least 60 m, with maximal DFAA concentrations (200–400 nM) in the late evening and minimal concentrations (30–40 nM) in the early day. Concurrent with the evening concentration maxima were elevated relative abundances of basic amino acids (especially ornithine and lysine) and ammonium. During the day very low levels of amino acids were found in the upper water. The magnitude of the night‐to‐day drop in total DFAA suggests a net heterotrophic uptake rate of up to 6 µ g AA·liter−1 h−1. A pronounced amino acid maximum at the O 2−HS− interface in the water column was presumably derived from microbial populations inhabiting this region. Pronounced, coincidental minima in amino acid and ammonium concentrations just above this interface may be related either to scavaging by precipitating metal oxyhydroxides or to enhanced heterotrophic utilization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
