Light—Shade Adaptation: TWO STRATEGIES IN MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON
Open accessAbstract
Using chlorophyll/P700 ratios, the size and number of photosynthetic units were estimated, as a function of light-shade adaptation in two species of marine phytoplankton: Skeletonema costatum, a diatom, and Dunaliella tertiolecta, a chlorophyte. In the diatom, light-shade adaptation is characterized primarily by changes in the size and not the number of P700 units, whereas in the chlorophyte, overall changes in chlorophyll content are related to changes in the number and not the size of P700 units. A correlation between the characteristics of P700 units and photosynthetic responses was not established. Both strategies of light-shade adaptation effectively harvest and transfer light energy to reaction centers, however, the Skeletonema strategy is more effective at subsaturating intensities. The two strategies may represent an evolutionary divergence in photosynthetic adaptation to variations in light intensity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
