Note(s): Gracilaria strain G-16S was cultured in various phosphorus (P) supply rates with low or high nitrogen (N) supply to determine the effects of nutrient supply on its productivity, agar content and physical properties of the agar. Productivity was reduced after four weeks of growth in zero P supply as plants reached 0.07% P tissue content (critical level), with fragmentation of these plants by six weeks (0.05% P; minimum viable level).
