Protein biomass quantification of unbroken individual foraminifers using nano-spectrophotometry
The ecological role of foraminifers has been largely unknown partly owing to difficulties in determining their individual biomass, although foraminifers are abundant in surface marine sediments. The present study provides a reliable and inexpensive method for the quantification of the protein conten...
