Nitrogen starvation induces distinct photosynthetic responses and recovery dynamics in diatoms and prasinophytes.

Nitrogen stress is an important control on the growth of phytoplankton and varying responses to this common condition among taxa may affect their relative success within phytoplankton communities. We analyzed photosynthetic responses to nitrogen (N) stress in two classes of phytoplankton that often...
