SOME THOUGHTS ON NUTRIENT LIMITATION IN ALGAE1
Abstract
SUMMARY: An empirical relation relating specific growth, rate in steady state systems to nutrient status with respect to more than one nutrient simultaneously is proposed, based on 3 experimentally verifiable postulates: (1) that uptake depends on the external substrate concentration; (2) that growth depends on the interval substrate concentration; and (3) in a steady state system specific rate of uptake (in the absence of significant, excretion) is necessarily the product of the specific growth rate and internal substrate concentration. The implications of this model are discussed in particular in respect to the concept of luxury consumption and Liebig's law of minimum. Some aspects of uptake in transient situations are also discussed.

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.
