INFLUENCE OF HUMIC SUBSTANCES ON THE GROWTH OF MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON: DINOFLAGELLATES1

Open access
Prakash, A., Rashid, M. A.·1968·Limnology and Oceanography

Abstract

Humic substances, in small amounts, exert a stimulatory effect on marine dinoflagellates that is reflected in increased yield, growth rate, and uptake. Humic acid was found to be more active than fulvic acid; in both cases the growth responses were dependent on concentration. Of the various fractions isolated, the low molecular weight fractions of humic acid produced the greatest growth response in unialgal cultures of dinoflagellates. The positive effect of humic substances on phytoplankton growth is, for the most part, independent of nutrient concentration and cannot be attributed entirely to chelation processes. It appears that growth enhancement in the presence of humic substances is linked with stimulation of algal cell metabolism. Because of their high concentrations in coastal waters, humic substances may thus be regarded as an ecologically significant entity influencing phytoplanktonic production.

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.
