Carbon allocation fixation

Studies performed with MPB communities in sediments have also demonstrated changes in carbon allocation as a result of UVR exposure. The most frequently observed change was a larger relative allocation to proteins at UV-B exposure [29,64,68], This can be interpreted as a larger proportion of fixed carbon spent on growth when carbon fixation decreases, as microalgal cells tend to retain synthesis of proteins rather than storage products under adverse environmental conditions [174]. Other UV-B effects on carbon allocation were...
