Filtration Effect

Comparisons of two methods of separating dissolved adenosine triphosphate (dATP) were made, both in the laboratory and in vertical profiles in Lake Michigan. Laboratory work indicated that filtration through a 0.2-μm pore filter or centrifugation of samples gave similar concentrations of dATP. In Lake Michigan, however, the filtration method gave significantly higher dATP concentrations suggesting some adverse filtration effect. Therefore, centrifugation was chosen as the method to determine dATP. Resulting particulate ATP (pATP) concentrations indicated the highest levels of microbial biomass were located below the epilimnion. Feeding by Mysis relicta appeared to decrease pATP but not release much dATP.
