THE MEASUREMENT OF ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE IN THE OCEAN AND ITS ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE1
Abstract
A method is described for the quantitative determination of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in quantities as low as 10−4 µ g. Using sample volumes of less than 2 liters, two profiles of ATP concentration have been made down to 1,025 m off the California coast. The biomass of living material in the water has been estimated from these data, using the ATP content of laboratory cultured microorganisms as indicators of endogenous ATP levels. When equated to numbers of bacteria, the ATP levels found at various depths in the ocean indicate bacterial populations between 50−2,000 times those found by plating techniques.

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.
