Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Nitrogen incorporation into total particulate suspended matter, hydrolysable amino acids and bacterial biomarker d-Alanine was assessed seasonally in the coastal North Sea using 15N-labeled ammonium, nitrate, nitrite and 15N- and 13C-labeled urea, glycine, leucine, phenylalanine, and two complex pools of dissolved organic matter (DOM) derived from algal and bacterial cultures (A-DOM, B-DOM). We investigated: 1) uptake rates for the various substrates and their contribution to total N uptake; 2) microbial preferences for the different N sources; 3) the coupling of C and N uptake from organic substrates; 4) the contribution of bacteria to the total microbial uptake of these substrates, and 5) the role of a complex pool of organic matter for plankton nutrition. Seasonality in the preferences for N substrates was observed, with A-DOM and B-DOM being preferred in autumn and winter whereas NH4+ was preferentially taken up in spring and summer. C and N uptake was coupled for all the organic substrates, except urea that was mainly used as a nitrogen source in summer and spring. Bacterial contribution to the uptake of A-DOM and B-DOM was, on an annual average, the lowest among the N-substrates. This suggests an important role for phytoplankton in the incorporation of complex organic matter and the importance of DOM for phytoplankton nutrition. |
