Notes: Abstract Laboratory experiments with natural phytoplankton assemblages from three lakes (two mesotrophic and one oligotrophic) showed that added PO4 predictably affected growth rate (µ, determined as P : B) while NO3 had little effect even when the N P ratio approached one. The response to PO4 followed the typical Monod-type function. The lack of effect of NO3 on µ at such low N : P ratios is in striking contrast to the added effect of NO3 Plus PO4 on maximum biomass produced versus only PO4 alone.
