DNA distributions in planktonic bacteria stained with TOTO or TO‐PRO
Open accessAbstract
The blue‐excitable nucleic acid‐binding fluorochromes, TOTO and TO‐PRO, were used to stain bacteria in marine plankton communities. Flow cytometric counts of cells stained with these dyes agreed well with counts made by epifluorescence microscopy of DAPI‐stained cells. We have used these new dyes in a study of bacteria from various waters in the North Atlantic and the eastern Mediterranean. The results indicate a distinction among bacterial groups of different fluorescence intensities (apparent DNA content). At large spatial and temporal scales, about half of the variation in the percentage of bacteria with high apparent DNA content (termed group II bacteria) could be explained by the variation in chlorophyll. Further, the apparent mean DNA content of group II bacteria was also correlated with chlorophyll.

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.
