Abstract
The influence of dissolved inorganic and organic nitrogen (DIN and DON) enrichments on pools of enzymes responsible for CO2 fixation by the Calvin-Benson (Rubisco) and beta-carboxylation pathways (beta-carboxylases) were studied in a natural plankton assemblage. The plankton community from a coastal Mediterranean lagoon were incubated in situ for 24 h with initially ammonium, nitrate and DON (taurine) enrichments and compared to a control without any enrichment. An increase of small picophytoplankton and diatom biomass was observed in the enriched inorganic nitrogen treatments 7 - 10 h after the initial enrichment. Phytoplankton biomass decreased in the control and under taurine enrichment suggesting an inorganic nitrogen limitation of phytoplankton growth.
