Size-scaling of macromolecules and chemical energy content in the eukaryotic microalgae

The macromolecular composition and cell size of microalgae can influence their competitive interactions for nutrients and food quality for predators. Here we quantify the cell volume and dry weight based size-scaling of protein, lipid, carbohydrate and chemical energy content of eukaryotic microalga...
