The Straits of Messina (Southern Italy, Mediterranean Sea) are a very complex area: they connect two basins (Tyrrhenian and Ionian) with different hydrographic features and is characterised by upwelling and mixing phenomena. The aim of the study was to evaluate if and how the physical and chemical water conditions and hydrodynamics influenced the phytoplankton and bacterial patterns and the functioning of this ecosystem. During a late winter survey, size-fractionated phytoplankton (from 0.2 to 200 μm) biomass (chlorophyll a), cell densities and species composition as well as total picoplankton abundances, morphotype composition, and activity levels of the enzymes leucine aminopeptidase, β-glucosidase, and alkaline phosphatase were investigated. The obtained results showed a marked diversification among the water masses identified within the Straits area. The analyses of the phytoplankton diversity indices, particularly those based on phylogenetic relationships between species (indices of taxonomic diversity and distinctness), confirmed our findings. In conclusion, the patterns of phytoplankton and bacterial communities provide a suitable approach to evaluate how microbial communities respond to changing environmental scenarios. This tool could be applied to other temperate Mediterranean ecosystems. |
