On the Chemical Composition of Eleven Species of Marine Phytoplankters

Parsons, T. R., Stephens, K., Strickland, J. D. H.·1961·Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada

Abstract

Eleven species of marine planktonic representatives of the Chlorophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Dinophyceae and Myxophyceae have been analyzed for their chemical composition. All species were grown under similar physical and chemical conditions and cells were analyzed during the exponential phase of growth. Chemical analyses consisted of a proximate analysis of each species for ash, protein, carbohydrate and lipid, and an analysis for carbon, silicon and phosphorus, as well as quantitative determinations of the monosaccharides and amino acids in hydrolysates of whole cells. The principal finding of this report is that marine phytoplankton have very similar organic composition when grown under similar physical and chemical conditions, regardless of the size of the organism or the class to which it belongs.

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.
