The effect of the heavy metals copper and cadmium on the natural populations of surface microlayer and subsurface water was investigated. Two microbiological parameters, number of colony-forming bacteria and 14C-glucose uptake rate, were evaluated. The two natural bacterial populations showed different tolerances of the heavy metals. Inhibition of bacterial growth and activity occurred more strongly in the 1m-depth samples than in neuston populations. The results support the existence of autochthonous bacterioneuston populations in marine environment
