Patterns in microphytobenthic primary productivity: Species‐specific variation in migratory rhythms and photosynthetic efficiency in mixed‐species biofilms (2005, background): “MPB attain this high level of ecological significance despite inhabiting estuarine sediments with a photic zone of only ;400 mm in depth (Consalvey 2002); limited periods of light exposure (Serôdio and Catarino 1999); and highly variable, and potentially stressful, temperatures and irradiances (Blan”

Dynamics of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production and loss in an estuarine, diatom‐dominated, microalgal biofilm over a tidal emersio—immersion period (2006, background): “In intertidal sediments, bacterial and algal production are linked (van Duyl et al. 1999), especially in sediments with low organic content (Köster et al. 2005), and rapid use of low-molecular-weight compounds in particular has been recorded (van Duyl et al. 1999; Underwood 2002).”
LIGHT‐INDUCED RESPONSES OF OXYGEN PHOTOREDUCTION, REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES PRODUCTION AND SCAVENGING IN TWO DIATOM SPECIES 1 (2010, background): “These severe environmental conditions are also frequently associated with the added problem of ambient O2 concentrations far greater (in excess of 300% saturation) than those experienced by phytoplankton (Blanchard and Guarini 1999, Underwood and Kromkamp 1999, Underwood 2002, Rijstenbil 2005).”
Mass coral spawning: A natural large‐scale nutrient addition experiment (2008, background): “…as tropical BMA have a high production ratio of high C : N EOC because of high irradiance and low nutrient availability, particularly in coral sands (Underwood 2002), although such a high production of EOC is less likely for dinoflagellates that dominated the benthic bloom (Glud et al. 2008).”
Short-term variability in the photosynthetic activity of microphytobenthos as detected by measuring rapid light curves using variable fluorescence (2005, methodology): “In diatoms, Fv/ Fm may decrease in the dark, due to non-photochemical quenching resulting from the formation of the transthylakoidal proton gradient, attributed to chlororespiration ( Ting and Owens 1993; Jakob et al. 1999 )a nd to the reverse operation of ATPase (Dijkman and Kroon 2002).”
Photosynthetic activity, photoprotection and photoinhibition in intertidal microphytobenthos as studied in situ using variable chlorophyll fluorescence (2008, background): “The descending migration under high light has been interpreted as a behavioural photoacclimation or photoprotective strategy, by which motile microalgae modulate their light exposure by moving through the steep vertical light gradient within the sediment (Kromkamp et al., 1998; Perkins et al., 2001;”
