The relationship between bacterial growth and incorporation of [methyl -3 H]thymidine in oligotrophic lake water cultures was investigated. Prescreening, dilution, and addition of organic and inorganic nutrients were treatments used to prevent bacterivory and stimulate bacterial growth. Growth in unmanipulated samples was estimated through separate measurements of grazing losses. Both bacterial number and biovolume growth responses were measured, and incorporation of [3 H]thymidine in both total macromolecules and nucleic acids was assayed. The treatments had significant effects on conversion factors used to relate thymidine incorporation to bacterial growth. Cell number-based factors ranged from 1.1 × 1018 to 38 × 1018 cells mol of total thymidine incorporation−1 and varied with treatment up to 10-fold for the same initial bacterial assemblage. In contrast, cell biovolume-based conversion factors were similar for two treatment groups across a 16-fold range of [3 H]thymidine incorporation rates: 5.54 × 1017 μm3 mol of total thymidine incorporation−1 and 15.2 × 1017 μm3 mol of nucleic acid incorporation−1 . Much of the variation in cell number-based conversion factors was related to changes in apparent mean cell volume of produced bacteria. Phosphorus addition stimulated [3 H]thymidine incorporation more than it increased bacterial growth, which resulted in low conversion factors.
