Abstract: | The utilisation of the exudates of bacteria (Lactobacillus sp.) and phytoplankton (Pavlova lutheri) by the clam Venus verrucosa Linné under identical experimental conditions was studied. 61.7% of the bacterial exudates were consumed but only 19.9% of the algal exudates. V. verrucosa would seem to assimilate bacterial products more easily than phytoplankton exudates. The study was performed in 1980. |
