High phosphate uptake requirements of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata Claire Godinot, Renaud Grover, Denis Allemand, Christine Ferrier-Pagès The Journal of Experimental Biology 2011 214: 2749-2754; doi: 10.1242/jeb.054239 http://jeb.biologists.org/content/214/16/2749 Also poorly understood in the nutrient balance is phosphate’s role. This sheds light on why zero is not the goal. Addition of ammonium or nitrate (up to 6.0 μmol l–1) did not enhance saturated phosphate […]
