Abstract:Planktonic bacteria can be grouped into ‘high nucleic acid content (HNA) bacteria’ and ‘low nucleic acid content (LNA) bacteria.’ Nutrient input modes vary in environments, causing nutrient availability heterogeneity. We incubated them with equal amounts of total glucose added in a continuous/pulsed mode. The pulse‐treated LNA bacteria exhibited twice the cell abundance and four times the viability of the continuous‐treated LNA, while HNA did not show an adaptation to pulsed treatment. In structural equation m… Show more
