Diel patterns of photosynthate biosynthesis by Antarctic freshwater phytoplankton growing under the variable but continuous sunlight of summer were found to be similar in many respects to those reported from other aquatic environments where light/dark periods alternate. Lipid synthesis by freshwater...
