Reference Fu FX, Bell PR. Growth, N2 fixation and photosynthesis in a cyanobacterium, Trichodesmium sp., under Fe stress. Biotechnol Lett. 2003 Apr25(8):645-9. p.647 table 1PubMed ID12882160
Method N2 fixation was measured on samples after about 7 d of growth using the acetylene reduction assay (Capone 1993). Chlorophyll a (Chl a) was determined spectrophotometrically using the procedure given by Jeffrey & Humphrey (1975).
Comments The gross photosynthesis and respiration rates were significantly related to the Fe concentration with about 2- and 1.5-fold difference between 450 nM Fe cultures and 9 nM cultures respectively (Table 1).
