Phosphorus (P) is essential for life, but most of the global surface ocean is P depleted, which
can limit marine productivity and affect ecosystem structure. Over recent decades, a wealth …

Polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of orthophosphate (PO4 3-) of varying lengths, has been
identified in all kingdoms of life. It can serve as a source of chemical bond energy …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for marine phytoplankton and indeed all life forms.
Current data show that P availability is growth‐limiting in certain marine systems and can …

Diatoms constitute a major phylum of phytoplankton biodiversity in ocean water and
freshwater ecosystems. They are known to respond to some chemical variations of the …

Phosphorus (P) is a non-renewable resource, a major plant nutrient that is essential for
modern agriculture. Currently, global food and feed production depends on P extracted from …

Phosphorus (P) is central to storing and exchange of energy and information in cells
including those of microalgae. The overwhelming majority of microalgae are naturally …

The macronutrient phosphorus is critical to the physiological ecology of eukaryotic
microalgae and cyanobacteria. What are the forms of phosphorus produced and used by …

Marine plankton elemental stoichiometric ratios can deviate from the Redfield ratio (106C:
16N: 1P); here, we examine physiological and biogeochemical mechanisms that lead to the …

Ocean-related global change has strongly affected the competition between key marine
phytoplankton groups, such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, especially with the deleterious …

Although toxic cyanobacterial blooms in western Lake Erie threaten drinking water supplies
and are promoted by nutrient loading, the precise nutrient regime that selects specific …
