TY - JOUR AU - Reinertsen, Helge AB - The phosphorus status [total phosphorus (P), surplus P, and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA)] of phytoplankton and bacteria were followed in a eutrophic Norwegian lake. On average 36% (range 20–60) of the particulate P and 57% (range 10–100) of the surplus P were bound by bacteria. The P : C ratio of phytoplankton and bacteria varied between 2.5 and 55 (median 5.1) and 34 and 360 (median 89) µg P (mg C)−1, indicating that bacteria have a substantially higher P requirement than do phytoplankton.
