1. Seasonal patterns of grazing and photosynthesis were investigated in two salineAntarctic lakes (Highway and Ace) in the Vestfold Hills (68 degrees S). The phototrophicnanoflagellate (PNAN) community was dominated by Pyramimonas gelidicola and twomorphological forms of a cryptophyte species that o...
