The reproducibility of tank experiments concerning unicellular marine algal development was analyzed by means of parallel experiments with cultures of Thalassiosira rotula and Skeletonerna costatum, using large flexible plastic tanks under semi-natural condi-
A new enriched sea water medium has been developed in order to make culture experiments of ecological relevance with neritic and oceanic phytoplankton species. In batch cultures, final cell yields of both neritic and oceanic diatoms and dinoflagellates correspond more or less to maximum cell densities of their natural populations. First results with unialgal and bialgal batch culture experiments are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
