| Note(s): |
Nitrogen-starved plants of the red alga Gracilaria tikvahiae (McLachlan, 1979) assimilate ammonium-nitrogen very rapidly, doubling their total tissue nitrogen content in 8 h or less. Uptake of nitrate-nitrogen is less rapid. Ammonium uptake is initially the same in the dark as in full sunlight, but the light-exposed seaweeds continue to assimilate the nitrogen longer. N-starved plants soaked in a full nutrient medium including NH4+-N for as little as 6 h and returned to unenriched flowing sea water will grow at non-nutrient-limiting rates for as much as 2 weeks before they again become nutrient-deficient and their growth rate declines.
