Creator:: Wetz, Michael S.
Abstract:: Few studies have examined the partitioning of organic matter in upwelling systems, despite the fact that these systems play a key role in carbon and nitrogen budgets in the ocean. We examined the production and partitioning of phytoplankton-derived organic matter in deck incubations off Oregon during the upwelling season. During...

Creator:: Eisner, Lisa B.
Abstract:: In situ optical measurements of spectral absorption and beam attenuation provide information on the fine scale horizontal and vertical variations in phytoplankton pigments and other measures of phytoplankton photophysiology and ecology in coastal waters. Phytoplankton pigment ratios from discrete sample analyses with High Performance Liquid Chromatography were compared to in...

Creator:: Laney, Samuel R.
Abstract:: The influence of nitrate availability and irradiance on phytoplankton natural fluorescence was investigated in laboratory cultures of the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (Bacillariophyceae). Two cultures of phytoplankton, differing only in the nitrate-limited growth rate, were compared to learn how increases in irradiance influences natural fluorescence. Instrumentation was developed for these...

Creator:: Brown, Matthew B.
Abstract:: Photoacclimation is the process by which plants and phytoplankton adjust the concentration and composition of their photosynthetic machinery (i.e. their photoacclimation state) in response to changes in their light or nutrient environment. The purpose of photoacclimation is to balance the rate at which light energy is absorbed with the energetic...

Creator:: Carini, Paul J.
Abstract:: Members of the SAR11 clade of heterotrophic α-proteobacteria are ubiquitous and abundant in the world's oceans where they are thought to play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. The first SAR11 bacterium cultivated in vitro, 'Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique' HTCC1062 (Ca. P. ubique), was isolated by dilution into sterile...
