The Macromolecular Basis of Phytoplankton C:N:P Under Nitrogen Starvation

The Macromolecular Basis of Phytoplankton C:N:P Under Nitrogen Starvation

Biogeochemical cycles in the ocean are strongly affected by the elemental stoichiometry (C:N:P) of phytoplankton, which largely reflects their macromolecular content. A greater understanding of how this macromolecular content varies among phytoplankton taxa and with resource limitation may strengthe...
