## Abstract To study the uptake mechanisms of 2,2β²,4,4β²,6,6β²βhexachlorobiphenyl (HxCB 153) in microplankton with different feeding strategies, two laboratory communities were used. Trophic transfer of HxCB 153 was tested in a heterotrophic microbial food web consisting of bacteria, flagellates, and
The effect of ambient ammonium concentration on the nitrate uptake rate of marine phytoplankton was investigated. These studies consisted of laboratory experiments using unialgal species and field experiments using natural phytoplankton communities. In laboratory experiments, ammonium suppressed the
