N:P ratio influences the competition of Microcystis with its picophytoplankton counterparts, Mychonastes and Synechococcus, under nutrient enrichment conditions
We investigated how the N:P ratio can shape the structure of picophytoplankton and Microcystis, which are abundant and widespread in eutrophic lakes. Unialgal culture and coculture batch experiments were conducted to study the growth and interspecific competition of Microcystis and two freshwater pi...
