Effect of Nutrient, Light Intensity and Temperature on the Growth Rates and Metabolism of a Stress-Resistant Bacillariophyta Species - Entomoneis sp. - in Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea)

A unicellular marine microalga, Entomoneis sp. was isolated and studied as had become the dominant species compared to other bacillariophyta species in different environmental fluctuations in Izmir Bay. In effort to better understand the dynamics of this microalga that has achieved unprecedented domination, we conducted a monoculture isolation study.
