ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of research on the antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria inhabiting the surface
microlayer (SM) and the subsurface water (SSW) of Lake Jeziorak Mały. It follows from the results that
doxycycline, oxytetracycline and nalidixic acid are characterized by the strongest antibacterial effect. For
some antibiotics, different strengths of the effect on bacteria isolated from the surface microlayer and subsurface
water have been observed.
