Growth and ecological role of the selected classes of marine phytoplankton

Growth and some biochemical characteristics were followed in six monocultures from four classes of marine phytoplankton. The growth and size parameters, as well as pigment composition of selected species were examined. The approach of chemotaxonomic pigment biomarkers was used to interpret the pigment fingerprints of natural phytoplankton from the Gulf of Trieste. The presence and concentrations of pigments analysed by HPLC method were supported by microscopic observations of the same samples.
