Superposition of Individual Activities: Urea-mediated Suppression of Nitrate Uptake in the Dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum Revealed at the Population and Single-cell Levels
Dinoflagellates readily use diverse inorganic and organic compounds as nitrogen sources, which is advantageous in eutrophied coastal areas exposed to high loads of anthropogenic nutrients, e.g. urea, one of the most abundant organic nitrogen substrates in seawater. Cell-to-cell variability in nutrit...
