The microbiology of sea fronts.
Microbial activity in the sea is affected by fronts (interfaces between water masses). Stratified water on one side has greater heterotrophic activity than does mixed water on the other. Greatly enhanced activity adjacent to tidal mixing fronts is evidently the indirect result of water movements associated with the fronts.
