| Abstract |
Palmaria palmata (L.) O. Kuntze was grown in tanks of flowing seawater enriched with 0.5–2.0 mM concentrations of NO3− or NH4+. NO3− was superior to NH4+ as a source of nitrogen for growth, but plants supplied with NH4+ accumulated more nitrogen than plants supplied with NO3−. P. palmata could absorb sufficient NO3− in a day to meet nitrogen requirements for almost one week. |
