Enclosing seawater samples in incubation bottles had 3 main effects on the phytoplankton: first, a large (5-fold in 12 h) increase of phytoplankton biomass, due to the release of grazing pressure by herbivores, Second, an increase (2-fold in 6 h) in ribulose biphosphate carboxylase specific activity (per unit chlorophyll a), which could be due to a smaller dependence on regenerated production (less heterotrophy on excreted compounds). This was also supported by a tight relationship between phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase activity and dissolved ammonium. Finally, the large changes in the carbon isotopic composition of the incubated particulate matter, which were highly dependent on the dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentration, were due mainly to... |
