Phaeocystis pouchetii (Hariot) Lagerheim, 1893 regularly dominates phytoplankton blooms in the Arctic. Through zooplankton grazing and microbial activity, it is considered to be a key resource for the entire marine food web but the actual relevance of biomass transfer to higher trophic levels is ...
Phaeocystis antarctica strain 1374, Phaeocystis antarctica strain 1871, grown in iron concentrations of 0nM, 1nM, 3nM, 10nM, 30nM, and 100nM. Ross Sea Phaeocystis bloom sample.
Iron and light are typically recognized as major limiting factors controlling phytoplankton growth in the Southern Ocean. Recent field-based evidence suggests, however, that manganese concentrations in this region can be low enough to impact phytoplankton physiology and primary productivity. Our stu...
Phaeocystis is a globally distributed Prymnesiophyceae genus and usually forms massive harmful colony blooms, which impact marine ecosystem, mariculture, human health, and even threaten coastal nuclear power plant safety. However, the mechanisms behind the colony formation from the solitary cells re...
