  • 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:...

  • Acclimation to Nutrient Limitation in Microalgae

    Creator:
    Moua, Bethany K.
    Abstract:
    Microalgae play an important role in the marine ecosystem. They are primary producers and form the base of the aquatic food web. The effects and changes that occur to microalgae are expected to have influences on the higher tropic levels. One major factor that influences growth of microalgae is the...

  • Impacts of microbial chemical interactions on marine plankton physiology

    Creator:
    Moore, Eric R.
    Abstract:
    The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...
