Phytoplankton fuels Delta food web
T Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta is a complex mosaic of waterways that forms the transition zone between San Francisco Bay and its watershed (fig. 1). Over the last century, the original dominant marsh habitat has been lost through filling and diking. Water flows have changed radically. Exotic plants and animals have invaded or been introduced intentionally, and toxic contaminants have beco...
متن کاملMethyl iodide production from marine phytoplankton cultures
Unialgal cultures of 15 species of marine phytoplankton were examined for the production of methyl iodide (CHJ). CH,I production was quantified during log and stationary phases of phytoplankton growth in f/2 medium and compared to CHJ levels in control vessels. Significant increases in CHJ production were seen in five cultures. Phytoplankton CHJ production varied from a low of lop4 amol CHJ cel...
متن کاملLight-Shade Adaptation : TWO STRATEGIES IN MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON.
Using chlorophyll/P700 ratios, the size and number of photosynthetic units were estimated, as a function of light-shade adaptation in two species of marine phytoplankton: Skeletonema costatum, a diatom, and Dunaliella tertiolecta, a chlorophyte. In the diatom, light-shade adaptation is characterized primarily by changes in the size and not the number of P700 units, whereas in the chlorophyte, o...

متن کاملMethanol Production by a Broad Phylogenetic Array of Marine Phytoplankton
Methanol is a major volatile organic compound on Earth and serves as an important carbon and energy substrate for abundant methylotrophic microbes. Previous geochemical surveys coupled with predictive models suggest that the marine contributions are exceedingly large, rivaling terrestrial sources. Although well studied in terrestrial ecosystems, methanol sources are poorly understood in the mar...
