[HTML][HTML] Light-induced fluorescence quenching leads to errors in sensor measurements of phytoplankton chlorophyll and phycocyanin

BZ Rousso, E Bertone, RA Stewart, K Rinke… - Water Research, 2021 - Elsevier
Optical sensors for fluorescence of chlorophyll a (f-Chl a) and phycocyanin (f-PC) are

[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
