Abstract
The functional characteristics of bacterioplankton have been studied with reference to its aggregation in water bodies of different types. Several methods were used for calculation of the total numbers of bacteria and proportion of aggregated cells. Analysis of the experimental data has shown a relationship between the functional characteristics of bacterioplankton, such as bacterial production, destruction of organic matter, and energy coefficient, and the proportion of aggregated bacteria. It has been shown that as this proportion increases, the production per cell and energy coefficients also increase.
