Nutrient and organic matter concentration, microbial biomass and activities were studied at the surface microlayers (SML) and subsurface waters (SSW) in two small forest lakes of different water colour. The SML in polyhumic lake is more enriched with dissolved inorganic nitrogen (0.141 mg l⁻¹) than that of oligohumic lake (0.124 mg l⁻¹), the former also contains higher levels of total nitrogen (2.66 mg l⁻¹). Higher activities of lipase (Vmax 2290 nmol l⁻¹1 h⁻¹ in oligo- and 6098 in polyhumic) and glucosidase (Vmax 41 nmol l⁻¹ h⁻¹ in oligo- and 49 in polyhumic) were in the SMLs in both lakes. Phosphatase activity was higher in the oligohumic SML than in SSW (Vmax 632 vs. 339 nmol l⁻¹ h⁻¹)while in polyhumic lake was higher in SSW (Vmax 2258 nmol l⁻¹ h⁻¹ vs. 1908 nmol l⁻¹ h⁻¹). Aminopeptidase activity in the SSW in both lakes was higher than in SMLs (Vmax 2117 in oligo- and 1213 nmol l⁻¹ h⁻¹ in polyhumic). It seems that solar radiation does inhibit neuston microbial community as a whole because secondary production and the share of active bacteria in total bacteria number were higher in SSW. However, in the oligohumic lake the abundance of bacteria in the SML was always higher than in the SSW (4.07 vs. 2.69 × 10⁶ cells ml⁻¹) while in the polyhumic lake was roughly equal (4.48 vs. 4.33 × 10⁶ cells ml⁻¹) in both layers. Results may also suggest that surface communities are not supplemented by immigration from bulk communities. The SML of humic lakes may act as important sinks for allochthonous nutrient resources and may then generate considerable energy pools for microbial food webs.
