    SUMMARY 1. Unialgal cultures of three species common in the freshwater phytoplankton were used to test limitation of specific growth rate and final yield in defined media of low K+ concentration (range 〈0.3–6 μmol L−1 or mmol m−3).2. Growth rate of the diatom Asterionella formosa was independent of K+ concentration above 0.7 μmol L−1. Final yield was dependent on initial concentration when accompanied by K+ depletion below this concentration, but not by lesser depletion with more residual K+. Analyses of particulate K in the biomass indicated a mean final cell content of 2.8 μmol K 10−8 cells, approximately 1.0% of the organic dry weight.3. Less detailed work with the diatom Diatoma elongatum showed no dependence of growth rate or final yield upon the initial K+ concentration in the range 0.8–3.2 μmol L−1. The phytoflagellate Plagioselmis nannoplanctica suffered net mortality in the lowest concentration tested, 0.8 μmol L−1.4. Comparison with the range of K+ concentration in natural fresh waters, including a depletion induced by an aquatic macrophyte, suggests that K+ is unlikely to limit growth of phytoplankton. Nevertheless, there can be correlation of K+ with lake trophy.

    SUMMARY. 1 Total fluorescence spectra of thirty-two freshwater algae show that the majority of the information is contained in the excitation spectrum of emission at 680 nm.2. Previously suggested characteristics for the automatic identification of blue-green algae from their fluorescence properties, i.e. the presence of high phycoerythrin fluorescence and low chlorophyll fluorescence, are shown to be inapplicable to the freshwater blue-green algae studied here.

    [Auszug] The uptake of iron by phytoplankton, and the possibility of iron-limited growth, depend on the chemical speciation of the element5'7. It has usually been assumed that algae take up soluble ionic species. However, the stable form of iron in oxic waters of neutral or near-neutral pHisFe(m), which has ...

    Abstract The paper reports the impact of a sharp artificial enrichment of the available phosphorus in a small, acidic and oligotrophic corrie lake and its effects upon the phytoplankton supported. Annual average chlorophyll increased tenfold within two years, from ∼ 1.2 to 12.6 µg chl a l-1, but the species represented by large populations are the same as previously. Chrysophyte species, however, make up a smaller fraction of the total crop.
