Alkalinity changes generated by phytoplankton growth1
Open accessAbstract
Continuous cultures of three marine phytoplankton species, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Dunaliella tertiolecta, and Monochrysis lutheri, were monitored for changes in alkalinity of the culture medium resulting from NO 3− and NH 4+ uptake. Uptake of NO 3− caused an increase in alkalinity, whereas uptake of NH 4+ produced a decrease. These results are consistent with the type of schematic equation proposed by Redfield, Ketchum, and Richards for photosynthetic assimilation of inorganic nitrogen, in which NO 3− uptake is balanced by OH− production and NH 4+ uptake leads to H+ generation. These reactions suggest active uptake of nitrogen species by microbes. We have been unable to demonstrate the exact stoichiometry of this relationship, and the role of P uptake in the alkalinity change is unclear. An offset in the data, functionally equivalent to the production of some strong acid, may be due to reactions on the walls of the vessel, active uptake of cations, or extrusion of H+ ions by the growing cells.

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.
