摘要

Abstract

The ratio of nitrogen/phosphorus (N/P) is known to affect cell proliferation of some marine micro algae. We evaluated the effect of N/P ratios on the proliferation and succession of phytoplankton using five marine micro algae species. We used two sources of nitrogen

NH4Cl (N1) and urea (N2)

and a single source of phosphorous

NaH2PO4(P). The optimal N/P ratio that differed among the five species was affected by the source of nitrogen

being as follows (N1/P

N2/P in order): Thalassiosira sp. (30/1

20/1)

Heterosigma akashiwo (30/1

30/1)

Chroomonas salina (20/1

30/1)

Chaetoceros gracilis (40/1

60/1)

and Alexandrium sp. (10/1

30/1). Thus

the source of nitrogen must be considered when analyzing the N/P ratio. Our results provide insight for predicting phytoplankton succession in coastal waters and may be used to forecast the potential risk of harmful algal blooms.
