• p265i Oligotrophic refers to environments, particularly lakes and other aquatic systems, that have very low concentrations of nutrients such as nitrates, phosphates, and organic matter, resulting in limited biological productivity.

• p266i Phagotrophy

• p266i Primary Productivity

• Phytoplankton 2nd Ed 1989 - Arthur Donald Boney Emeritus Professor of Botany University of Glasgow

  • PSU QK933.B66 1989
• pelagic zone: water column of the open ocean

• p001 thallus, no organization into tissues such as vascular structure

• p001 all algae contain chlorophyll a, a poor absorber of green light

• p003 Red tides toxic dinoflagellates

• p013 coccolith plates of calcium carbonate, perhaps protective against predation

• p016 Primary production autotroph produces own food heterotroph consumes producers

• p017 Global primary production 1.4e14 to 1.8e14 kg/year dry matter, oceans only 35% of the total

  • why not 70%, proportional to ocean/land ratio? If land production remained the same, the total land plus ocean productivity could increase by a factor of 2.16 ... and that's before improving predation resistance and engineering new photosynthetic processes.

• p018 PAR Photosynthetically active radiation

• p018 Clear winter's day light intensity 20% of summer, 10% with clouds

• p019 thylakoids membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria

• p019 stroma

• p019 pyrenoids

• p019 phycobilin

• p019 carotenes absorb UV, violet, and blue light

• p019 xanthrophyll yellow pigments

• p019 Sun vertical, 2% light reflection, near horizon 90% reflection

• p021 humic acids

• p021 gilvin colored humic substances

• p023 depth d at which lowered white disk disappears
• p023 surface inhibition, light too intense for phytoplankton
• p024 continuous sunlight and prolonged calm injures Arctic phytoplankton and inhibits photosynthesis

• p026 epilimnion surface layer hypolimnion depths metalimnion between

• p026 sieche standing wave in body of water

• p029 photosynthetic activity will increase pH in favor of bicarbonate users

• p032 orthosilicic acid makes silica cell walls, 26% to 63%

• p033 desmid green algae, progenitors of land plants

• p034 Iron fertilization

• p034 primary production may be limited by the availability of iron and other trace elements
• p034 manganous = +2 oxidation state

• p035 copper in plastocyanin mediates electron-transfer

• p035 cyancobalamine B12 thiamine biotin B7 required by plantonic algae

• p036 auxotrophs dependent on other sources of vitamins

• p036 auxospores in growth processes, sexual reproduction, or dormancy

• p036 coastal phytoplankton excrete 35% of fixed carbon CITATION NEEDED

• p036 eutrophication can be long term enrichment of aging process in natural waters

• p037 heterotrophs deplete water of oxygen -> high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)

• p037 euryhaline species adapt to varied salinities, stenohaline (i.e. freshwater fish) cannot

• p037 stenohaline in fresh water suffer cell distortion/rupture, freshwater algae in seawater plasmolysed

• p038 regions enriched with phosphate -> dense algae within two months, not with nitrate and sucrose

• p041 cell must keep moving for continuing nutrient supply, phytoplankyton tend to sink
• p041 net production nil if mixed zone 5x deeper than euphotic zone
• p043 small cells with high surface to volume ratio have higher friction and sink slowest
• p079 Extracellular products pass from cell to medium, photo-synthetically derived organic carbon, PDOC
• p079 dm³ =decimeter cubed = liter
• p094 Measuring Primary Productivity
• p105 phytoplankton "farm" in liquid tubes, 12.5 tonnes per hectare. Better radiation input could triple that, eightfold increase over cultivated land. Edibility questionable, taste barrier, animal feed? Cell wall lowers food value
• KL can cell wall be "designed out" with genetic engineering in a pathogen-free environment?
