Uptake rates of three potential N-sources (ammonium, nitrate and N-urea) and two potential C-sources (HCO(3)(-) and C-urea) were estimated during growth of Alexandrium catenella in both light and dark phases. According to the variations observed in (13)C-isotopic ratio, A. catenella cells were not able to use C-urea. Furthermore, decreases in (13)C cell content during darkness revealed a probably high involvement of C recently fixed in dark respiration. Dark N-uptake capacities of A. catenella were characterized by dark/light uptake ratio of 27%, 43% and 65% for NO(3)(-), NH(4)(+) and N-urea, respectively. An accumulation of C-rich compounds during the light period was highlighted through strong diel variations in C:N ratio and would provide C and energy... |
