	abstract = {Organic nutrients can constitute the major fractions (up to 70\%) of aquatic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), but their cycling is poorly understood relative to the inorganic pools. Some phytoplankton species access P from the dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) pool through expression of alkaline phosphatase (AP), which hydrolyses orthophosphate from organic molecules, and is thought to occur either at low concentrations of dissolved inorganic P (DIP), or elevated ratios of dissolved inorganic N (DIN) to DIP. Three algal strains native to the North-East Atlantic Ocean (coccolithophore, dinoflagellate and diatom species) were grown under representative, temperate conditions, and the dissolved N and P components amended to include dissolved organic N (DON) and DOP. The activity of AP was measured to determine the rate of DOP uptake by each algal species. The addition of DON and DOP enhanced the growth of the algal species, regardless of DIN and DIP concentrations. In cultures where the total concentrations and absolute N: P ratio was unchanged but the N pool included both DON and DIN, an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) was measured. This suggested that the presence of DON triggered the selective uptake of DOP. The uptake of organic P was confirmed by detection of adenosine in DOP-amended culture media, indicating that P had been cleaved from ADP and ATP added to the media as DOP, and cellular P concentration in these cultures exceeded the calculated concentration based on uptake of DIP only. Our data demonstrates that organic nutrients can enhance and sustain marine algal productivity. The findings have implications for marine ecosystem function and health, since climate change scenarios predict variable riverine inputs to coastal areas, altered N: P ratios, and changes in the inorganic to organic balance of the nutrient pools.},

	abstract = {The Mediterranean Thau Lagoon is an important oyster farming area in Europe. Oyster growth rates are among the highest in France, although chlorophyll a concentration is low. Previous studies have demonstrated that picophytoplankton, nano-microphytoplankton, dinoflagellates and loricate ciliates such as tintinnids are abundant. However, heterotrophic flagellates and aloricate ciliates have not been investigated. The aim of this study was to assess picophytoplankton, protist and zooplankton abundances in the Lagoon and to investigate the particular structure of the microbial food web, which may explain such paradoxical oyster growth. In oligotrophic waters in the Thau Lagoon, the picoeukaryote Ostreococcus tauri is the dominant autotrophic picoplankter, with an abundance maximum in summer. On 17 August 1998, following a rainfall event, pico- and nanophytoplankton abundances were not as high as expected and we observed a high abundance of large diatoms. At this time, the available carbon resources were produced by microphytoplankton (84.5\%), and picoplank-tonic cells represented only 1.27 \% in terms of carbon. Heterotrophic cells were low in abundance and constituted {\textexclamdown}14\% of carbon resources. In order to evaluate the importance of the {\textquoteright}protozoan trophic link{\textquoteright} for energy transfer from the microbial food web to large benthic suspension feeders, the oyster Crassostrea gigas was offered a planktonic community as potential prey. In the grazing experiment, all {\textquestiondown}5 mum flagellates, microphytoplankton, dinoflagellates, ciliates and large zooplankton were retained by the oyster gills. Only flagellates {\textexclamdown}5 pm and O. Tauri were not very well retained (45 and 2\% respectively). The high clearance rates of C. Gigas found in this experiment can be explained by a low concentration of suspended particulate matter (0.65 mg l(-1)). The oysters adapted their retention mechanism when they Lived in oligotrophic waters. These results indicate that, under the given experimental conditions, picophytoplankton did not represent a valuable trophic resource for farmed oysters because (1) C. Gigas cannot retain picoparticles and (2) the picoplankton represented a poor carbon resource capable of being transferred via a weak heterotrophic protist community. In the oyster pens of the Thau Lagoon during this study, microphytoplanktonic primary producers, in particular diatoms, were the main food sources for bivalve suspension feeders.},
