Use of Dissolved Amino Acids by the Foraminifer Notodendrodes antarctikos
SYNOPSIS. Foraminifera are a ubiquitous and sometimes numerically important component of benthic communities. This paper discusses the role of free amino acids in the nutrition of Notodendrodes antarctikos , a large arborescent foraminifer from an oligotrophic embayment of the Ross Sea, Antarctica....

This paper discusses the role of free amino acids in the nutrition of Notodendrodes antarctikos , a large arborescent foraminifer from an oligotrophic embayment of the Ross Sea, Antarctica.
