}Evidence is given that the colourless flagellate Oxyrrhis marina is a natural source of tryptophan in the diet of the rotifer Encentrum linnhei, which inhabits coastal rockpools in western Scotland. The rotifer feeds on this flagellate in addition to the photosynthetic alga Brachiomonas submarina. This study also shows that tryptophan excreted by one alga can be taken up by another and made available to Encentrum, a process which allows the rotifer to grow on combinations of algae which…

Results of feeding experiments and the analysis of theFood size spectrum of rotifers suggest that larger bacteria, heterotrophic flagellates and small ciliates should be a common part of the food of most rotifer species.

Specific growth rate in the chemostats was found not to depend directly on medium substrate concentration but on the concentration within the cells (cell quota), obeying a hyperbolic equation of the form 57.

In outdoor tanks enclosed monocultures of Thalassiosira rotula, partly synchronized cell divisions during exponential growth and changes in division activity showed a characteristic frequency, which pointed to strong fluxes of organic bound nitrogen in marine micro-heterotrophs.
