Abstract
Studies by many workers on the subtle ecological relationships of marine organisms suggest that the distribution of these organisms may be controlled, at least in part, by trace organic substances in their environment. These substances may range from ‘toxins to vitamins and hormones’ (Lucas, 1955). Saunders (1957) has reviewed the interrelations ofdissolved organic matter and phytoplankton and considered the possible roles of organic metabolites in the growth of the algae. The presence of several vitamins, for example, B12, thiamin, niacin and biotin, has been demonstrated in natural waters, but the possible occurrence of plant hormones has not previously been considered.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
