Short summary
This study is the first to test the iodonitrotetrazolium reduction (INTR) method for respiration in prokaryotes. The method was successfully used with γ-proteobacteria, α-proteobacteria (including SAR11), actinobacteria and cyanobacteria. We show that the current use of a single conversion from INTR to oxygen consumption may not be universally applicable but should be determined for each community. The results provide further confidence in the INT method to determine plankton respiration.
