The rate of organic matter decomposition, the abundance of heterotrophic bacteria, production of bacterial biomass and coefficients of heterotrophic activity of bacterial microflora have been determined for three estuarine lakes.Processes of organic matter destructions, biomass production as well as heterotrophic activity of bacteria displayed marked seasonal fluctuations.The highest rate of the processes studied was observed in heterotrophic lake Jamno and considerably lower in eutrophic lakes Lebsko and Gardno.The data gathered in the course of three-year-long research programme revealed the increasing rate of eutrophication processes in the aquatic basins investigated.
