Table 1 in Growth and grazing of the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans (Chlorarachniophyceae) on the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus

Table 1. Growth, grazing and carbon acquisition of Bigelowiella natans on Synechococcus strains CC9311 and CC9605. Parameters are for numerical and/ or functional response from Equations 2 and 3 as presented in Figs 7–10. MGR, maximum growth rate (data given as means ± standard error, d –1); MIR; maximum ingestion rate (cells predator –1 h –1); K: prey concentration sustaining IR ½ × MIR (cells ml –1); CA, carbon acquired from prey by Bigelowiella natans per day (pg C predator –1 d –1); MCR, maximum clearance rate (nl predator –1 h –1).
