[Microbiological studies in the deepwater area of the Southern Caspian Sea].
For the first time, microbiological monitoring was performed in the deepwater area of the Southern Caspian Sea. It revealed seasonal and interannual variations in total microbial content and concentrations of saprophytes and other physiological groups of bacteria in water and bottom sediments. The biomass, generation time, and bacterial production were determined. The most profound variations in microbial content, biomass, and production were found to occur in the water column and in bottom sediments at depths to 200-250 m.
