Seasonal Phosphate Demand for Lake Erie Plankton

Reads0

TLDR
In this article, the pattern for phosphate demand in Lake Erie was assessed by four independent methods: conventional monitoring, measurements of polyphosphate, phosphate turnover time, and a newly developed phosphate deficiency index.

The stoichiometry of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in particulate matter of lakes and oceans

TL;DR: The relative uniformity of marine C : N : P composition (compared to lakes) at the Redfield ratio suggests that marine plankton cannot be as severely, or as frequently, limited by N and P as lake plankton, and the paradigm of N limitation in the oceans requires qualification.

Empirical relationships between bacterial abundance and chlorophyll concentration in fresh and marine waters

TL;DR: A strong, positive empirical relationship was found between bacterial abundance and chlorophyll concentration in fresh and marine waters, and it is suggested that planktonic bacteria and algae are tightly linked in lakes and the sea.
Journal ArticleDOI

The potential importance of grazing-resistant bacteria in planktonic systems

TL;DR: How GRB can be included in conceptual models of the interactions among metazooplankton, bacterivorous protozoans and bacteria is described and it is suggested that the relative importance of GRB increases with increasing grazing pressure exerted by protozans, whereas it decreases with increasing top-down control of protozoan by metazozoan.

Nitrogen and phosphorus recycling by the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in the western basin of Lake Erie

TL;DR: Comparison of zebra mussel P recycling rates on a basin-wide scale with other P sources suggests that mussels are a major factor in the recycling and flux of P in the western basin of Lake Erie.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large‐scale variability and interactions among phytoplankton, bacterioplankton, and phosphorus

TL;DR: In four data sets investigating the variability of algae, bacteria, and P among lakes, bacterial abundance was more closely related to P concentration than to chlorophyll, indicating that algal-bacterial competition for P does not determine algal or bacterial abundance.

Vitamin B12 and Marine Ecology. IV. The Kinetics of Uptake, Growth and Inhibition in Monochrysis Lutheri

TL;DR: Specific growth rate in the chemostats was found not to depend directly on medium substrate concentration but on the concentration within the cells (cell quota), obeying a hyperbolic equation of the form

Simultaneous determination of the total number of aquatic bacteria and the number thereof involved in respiration.

TL;DR: Initial applications of the present method for hydrobiological purposes showed that the proportion of respiring aquatic bacteria ranged between 6 to 12% (samples taken from coastal areas of the Baltic Sea) and 5 to 36% (sampled taken from freshwater lakes and ponds).
