Table 2 in Growth and grazing of the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans (Chlorarachniophyceae) on the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus

Table 2. Comparison of maximum growth and ingestion rates of protistan grazers on Synechococcus strains CC9311 and CC9605. NM, nutrition mode; ESD, estimated spherical diameter (μm); MGR, maximum growth rate of predator (d –1); MIR, maximum ingestion rate (cells predator –1 h –1); % BC, acquired carbon as percentage of predator species carbon; MGGE, maximum gross growth efficiency (%), negative value not reported. CHL, chlorarachniophyte; CIL, ciliate; CRY, cryptophyte; DIN, dinoflagellate; CM, constitutive mixotrophy; HT, heterotroph. Synechococcus sp.
