Photosynthesis acclimation under severely fluctuating light conditions allows faster growth of diatoms compared with dinoflagellates

Abstract Background Diatoms contribute 20% of the global primary production and are adaptable in dynamic environments. Diatoms always bloom earlier in the annual phytoplankton succession instead of dinoflagellates. However, how diatoms acclimate to a dynamic environment, especially under changing li...
