Allometry and stoichiometry of unicellular, colonial and multicellular phytoplankton.
Phytoplankton life forms, including unicells, colonies, pseudocolonies, and multicellular organisms, span a huge size range. The smallest unicells are less than 1 microm3 (e.g. cyanobacteria), while large unicellular diatoms may attain 10(9) microm3, being visible to the naked eye. Phytoplankton includes chemo-organotrophic unicells, colonies and multicellular organisms that depend on symbionts...

متن کاملA model for variable phytoplankton stoichiometry based on cell protein regulation
The elemental ratios of marine phytoplankton emerge from complex interactions between the biotic and abiotic components of the ocean, and reflect the plastic response of individuals to changes in their environment. The stoichiometry of phytoplankton is, thus, dynamic and dependent on the physiological state of the cell. We present a theoretical model for the dynamics of the carbon, nitrogen and...
متن کاملA discrete , size - structured model of phytoplankton growth
A discrete, size-structured model of phytoplankton growth in the chemostat. A discrete, size-structured model of phytoplankton growth in the chemostat. Abstract: We introduce inhomogeneous, substrate dependent cell division in a nonlinear matrix model of size-structured population growth in the chemostat, rst introduced by Gage et al. 7] and later analyzed by Smith 11]. We show that mass conser...
