 Zusammenfassung: Microbial biomass is a key parameter needed for the quantification of microbial turnover rates and their contribution to the biogeochemical element cycles. However, estimates of microbial biomass rely on empirically-derived mass-to-volume relationships and large discrepancies exist between the available empirical conversion factors.

Here we report a significant non-linear relationship between carbon mass and cell volume (mcarbon = 197 × V0.46.; R2 = 0.95) based on direct cell mass, volume and elemental composition measurements of twelve prokaryotic species with average volumes between 0.011 – 0.705 μm3. The carbon mass density of our measured cells ranged from 250 to 1800 fg C μm-3 for the measured cell volumes. Compared to other currently used models, our relationship yielded up to 300 % higher carbon mass values. A compilation of our and previously published data showed that cells with larger volumes (> 0.5 μm3) display a constant (carbon) mass-to-volume ratio whereas cells with volumes below 0.5 μm3 exhibit a nonlinear increase in (carbon) mass density with decreasing volume.

Small microorganisms dominate marine and freshwater bacterioplankton as well as soils and marine and terrestrial subsurface. The application of our experimentally-determined conversion factors will help to quantify the true contribution of these microorganisms to ecosystem functions and global microbial biomass.
