Effects of an iron-light co-limitation on the elemental composition (Si, C, N) of the marine diatoms <I>Thalassiosira oceanica</I> and <I>Ditylum brightwellii</I>

We examined the effect of iron (Fe) and Fe-light (Fe-L) co-limitation on cellular silica (BSi), carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in two marine diatoms, the small oceanic diatom <I>Thalassiosira oceanica</I> and the large coastal species <I>Ditylum brightwellii</I>. We showed that...
