Changes in motility and induction of enzymatic activity by nitrogen and phosphate deficiency in benthic Halamphora luciae (Bacillariophyceae) from Argentina

Cells of Halamphora luciae were isolated from the mudflat of the Bahía Blanca estuary. Unialgal axenic cultures were grown in f/2 with limiting concentrations of N or P and in f/2 medium deprived of one or both macronutrients. On the one hand, limited macronutrient supply did not affect growth rate,...

P deficiency enhanced the secretion of soluble extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), the percentage and speed of gliding cells, as well as the activity of alkaline phosphatase, especially after a previous prolonged P starvation.
