"Table 1 summarizes the factors [researchers] used to calculate
the energetic benefits. Values for the cyanobacterium
Synechococcus are given for comparison, although not
discussed in detail. [Researchers] used two approaches for calculating
the energy potentially gained from phototrophy. The
first approach, which assumes a linear response to light,
uses data on in situ light intensity and quality (wavelength),
the number of photosynthetic units (PSUs) in
each photoheterotroph, the absorption cross-section area as function of wavelength, the quantum efficiency, and the
energy yield per absorbed photon. The second approach
assumes that the energy potentially gained from phototrophy
varies nonlinearly with PAR [photosynthetically active radiance] as a function of two
parameters (Table 1) estimated from published experiments
(see below). This second approach is independent
of the first, except that both depend on the same estimates
for the number of PSUs per cell and the energy
yield per proton." See note beneath table |
