Pathways of photosynthetic carbon assimilation in sea‐ice microalgae from McMurdo Sound, Antarctica1

Although sea‐ice microalgae share a low temperature, ice‐associated environment, their patterns of 14 C assimilation into proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and small molecular weight metabolites suggest that the physiological ecology of surface, bottom congelation, and platelet ice communities shou...

Description
Summary:Although sea‐ice microalgae share a low temperature, ice‐associated environment, their patterns of 14 C assimilation into proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and small molecular weight metabolites suggest that the physiological ecology of surface, bottom congelation, and platelet ice communities should be considered separately.
