| Comments |
"...flow cytometric studies
confirmed that
Prochlorococcus
was responsible over 75 percent of light-stimulated
leucine incorporation in the North Atlantic Ocean, but
Synechococcus
and probably
other bacterial groups also accounted for substantial light-dependent leucine incorporation (primary source)." |
