  • Physiological characterization of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae

    Creator:
    Tornberg, Emma C.
    Abstract:
    Marine primary production can be modeled and estimated using remotely-observable physiological signatures such as chlorophyll and carbon. Current models are based on strict physiological relationships based on photoautotrophic phytoplankton, and discrepancies between modeled and in situ data may stem from unaccounted-for physiological deviations from photoautotrophy. Mixotrophic phytoplankton can obtain energy...

  • The Effects of Phytoplankton Prey Species and Nutrient Limitation on Microzooplankton

    Creator:
    McBeain, Kelsey Ann
    Abstract:
    Phytoplankton and microzooplankton comprise the base and the first link of the marine food web, respectively. These microbes are key drivers of marine carbon and nutrient cycles. Phytoplankton convert atmospheric CO₂ into organic carbon, and microzooplankton consume phytoplankton, packaging phytoplankton carbon into particulate forms that have a variety of fates:...

  • Quantifying Carbon Production in Marine Ecosystems Using Expressions of Phytoplankton Physiology

    Creator:
    Penta, William Bryce
    Abstract:
    Phytoplankton initiate the marine carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide into biologically available compounds. These abundant single celled organisms mediate carbon flux from the atmosphere to the deep ocean and are the base of the marine food web, supplying new carbon to higher trophic levels. Phytoplankton are highly diverse and...
