The rapid and efficient analysis of plankton samples (eg enumeration, identification,
biomass determination) has been an important driver for recent technological developments …

Aim of this study was to expose phytoplankton to growth conditions simulating deep winter
convection in the North Atlantic and thereby to assess changes in physiology enabling their …

Microalgae are unicellular photosynthetic microorganisms typically found in aquatic
environments and they play a vital role in the global carbon and energy cycles …

The hypothesis that cyanobacteria can be controlled by commercially available ultrasound
transducers was tested in laboratory experiments with cultures of the cyanobacteria …

While global climate change in polar regions is expected to cause significant warming, the
annual cycle of light and dark will remain unchanged. Cultures of three species of Antarctic …

We examined phytoplankton biomass and community composition (mostly based on
pigments) as well as cell viability with the cell digestion assay in surface waters of the …

We hypothesized that the characteristics of Coastal Oyashio water in the North Pacific
Ocean during winter–spring have a major influence on the generation of massive spring …

Exploring the complex interaction between algal growth and their photo-physiology is of
significant interest as it can further the understanding of harmful algal blooms. To this end …

We tested the survival potential and fitness of two different algae strains (the diatom
Thalassiosira weissflogii and the cryptophyceae Rhodomonas sp.) under different growth …

This study demonstrates that pygmy blue whale faeces stimulates the photosynthetic
performance and growth of three marine phytoplankton species, Dunaliella tertiolecta …
