Productivity and Growth of a Natural Population of the Smallest Free-Living Eukaryote under Nitrogen Deficiency and Sufficiency
The influence of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) enrichments on cell-normalized carbon uptake rate, chlorophyll a content, and apparent cell size of a picoeukaryote (<1 μm) (Ostreococcus tauri, the smallest eu...

Response of coastal phytoplankton to ammonium and nitrate pulses: seasonal variations of nitrogen uptake and regeneration
Seasonal variation in uptake and regeneration of ammonium and nitrate in a coastal lagoon was studied using 15N incorporation in particulate matter and by measuring changes in particulate nitrogen. Uptake and reg...

An optical method for the rapid measurement of micromolar concentrations of nitrate in marine phytoplankton cultures
This method of nitrate determination by ultraviolet absorption spectrometry is based on the measurement of sample absorbance at a single wavelength (220 nm), which was chosen on the basis of the absorption spe...

Automated procedure for determination of dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus in aquatic environments
A method is described for estimating dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) in aquatic environments. The method is based on ultraviolet oxidation under successive acid and alka...

Carbon and nitrogen dynamics during growth and degradation of phytoplankton under natural surface irradiance
Under conditions of natural irradiance, the development and decline of a flagellate-dominated phytoplankton population was followed in a coastal North Atlantic pond over a 3 d period in summer 1986. Irradiance...

Nocturnal synthesis and diurnal degradation of phytoplankton biomass in surface waters
Natural populations of phytoplankton were collected near the Bay of Bourgneuf, France, in spring 1982, and were subjected to natural surface irradiance outdoors. They exhibited exponential growth on time scale...

Hydrobiological parameters during an annual cycle in the Arcachon Basin
Temperature, salinity, nutrients and phytoplankton biomass were monitored on a weekly to bimonthly frequency at six stations in the Bay of Arcachon from July 1984 to July 1985. This particular period appears t...

Studies on Marine Autotrophs: Recommendations for the 1980s
There was agreement among members of the working group that, in the next 5–10 years, the process-oriented focus of field studies should be maintained. This orientation is viewed as a third phase in the histori...

Significance of cellular nitrate content in natural populations of marine phytoplankton growing in shipboard cultures
Phytoplankton intracellular nitrate concentrations have been monitored in a 56-h experiment on a shipboard culture of surface sea water from an upwelling region. These measurements were related to parameters o...

Blooms of surf-zone diatoms along the coast of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. IV. Nitrate reductase activity in natural populations and laboratory cultures of Chaetoceros armatum and Asterionella socialis
Nitrate reductase (NR) activity in the surf-zone diatom Chaetoceros armatum T. West was studied in its natural habitat at Copalis Beach, Olympic Peninsula, Washington (USA) over a period of 18 months. Variations ...
