Extract

A study has been made of the relationship of Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bohlin) to iron, manganese and zinc. Evidence is presented showing that, in batch culture, the three elements behave differently as regards their uptake into the cells, the amounts present in the cells and their distribution between cells during the growth of the culture. The implications of these differences are considered.
