FIG. 2.
Dynamics in microbial growth variables during phytoplankton bloom experiment 1. (A) Chl a concentrations. (B) Bacterial production estimated by leucine incorporation. (C) Bacterial abundance. Data were from seawater microcosms including the microbial community (fraction < 150 μm) incubated under turbulent (T) and still (S) conditions. Microcosms received nutrients as a batch addition on day 0 (TB and SB) or as daily additions (TD and SD). Values are the means ± standard deviations (error bars) for samples from duplicate microcosms maintained until day 6. Chl a concentrations are shown in micrograms per liter, bacterial production is shown in micrograms of carbon per liter per day, and the sampling time is shown in days (d).
