Relationship between algae and bacteria
What is the relationship between algae and bacteria?
What is the relationship between algae and bacteria?
Nitrogen is considered the limiting factor for algal growth in salt water, while phosphorus is the limiting factor in fresh water. Under optimal conditions heterotrophic bacteria can double their population in 20 minutes; algae take about 24 hours. The bacteria also have a much greater surface area to volume ratio than algae which facilitates the uptake of nutrients.
