Abstract
Sinking rate and electrophoretic mobility were measured on individual colonies of A. formosa to test the hypothesis that surface electrical charge influences buoyancy. Although appreciable differences in sinking rate were related to the physiological condition of the algae, they were not accompanied by significant changes in electrophoretic mobility.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
