The effect of zooplankton on the dynamics and molecular composition of carbohydrates during an experimental algal bloom

The accumulation and degradation of carbohydrates (aldoses) were investigated during diatom blooms in two mesocosms. The effects of macrozooplankton were explored by addition of zooplankton to one mesocosm (+Z). Aldoses accumulated at a steady rate of 4.9 μM C d-1 from day 9 in the mesocosm without...
