Nitrogen and phosphorus limitation and the management of small productive lakes
SC Maberly, JA Pitt, PS Davies, L Carvalho - Inland Waters, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Many inland waters are enriched with nutrients, causing deleterious effects to their ecology
and the benefits they provide for society, but their effective management first requires …

[HTML][HTML] Light-induced fluorescence quenching leads to errors in sensor measurements of phytoplankton chlorophyll and phycocyanin
Optical sensors for fluorescence of chlorophyll a (f-Chl a) and phycocyanin (f-PC) are
increasingly used as a proxy for biomass of algae and cyanobacteria, respectively. They …

Nitrate or ammonium: Influences of nitrogen source on the physiology of a green alga
SC Lachmann, T Mettler‐Altmann… - Ecology and …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
In freshwaters, algal species are exposed to different inorganic nitrogen (Ni) sources whose
incorporation varies in biochemical energy demand. We hypothesized that due to the lesser …

Photosynthetic sensitivity of phytoplankton to commonly used pharmaceuticals and its dependence on cellular phosphorus status
M Grzesiuk, A Wacker, E Spijkerman - Ecotoxicology, 2016 - Springer
Recently pharmaceuticals have become significant environmental pollutants in aquatic
ecosystems, that could affect primary producers such as microalgae. Here we analyzed the …

[HTML][HTML] Nutrient-induced fluorescence transients in diatom-bacteria biofilms suggested the possible application of marine biofilms in monitoring nutrient disturbance
KM Sun, C Zhao, Q Ju, Y Tian - Ecological Indicators, 2023 - Elsevier
The phenomenon of nutrient-induced fluorescence transients (NIFTs) in algae has shown
potential in indicating nutrient disturbance in water. However, it has only been reported in …

Photosynthetic activity in both algae and cyanobacteria changes in response to cues of predation
A plethora of adaptive responses to predation has been described in microscopic aquatic
producers. Although the energetic costs of these responses are expected, with their …

Species-specific influence of Pi-status on inorganic carbon acquisition in microalgae (Chlorophyceae)
SC Lachmann, SC Maberly, E Spijkerman - Botany, 2017 - cdnsciencepub.com
Inorganic phosphorus (Pi) is often the primary limiting nutrient in freshwater ecosystems.
Since Pi-limitation affects energy transduction, and inorganic carbon (Ci) acquisition can be …
