Seasonal environmental transitions and metabolic plasticity in a sea-ice alga from an individual cell perspective

Abstract Sea-ice microalgae are a key source of energy and nutrient supply to polar marine food webs, particularly during spring, prior to open-water phytoplankton blooms. The nutritional quality of microalgae as a food source depends on their biomolecular (lipid:protein:carbohydrate) composition. I...
