Differential assimilation of inorganic carbon and leucine by Prochlorococcus in the oligotrophic North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

The light effect on photoheterotrophic processes in Prochlorococcus, and primary and bacterial productivity in the oligotrophic North Pacific Subtropical Gyre was investigated using 14C-bicarbonate and 3H-leucine. Light and dark incubation experiments were conducted in situ throughout the euphotic z...
