Abstract excerpt
Trait-based approaches support the mechanistic understanding of individual organism responses to resource availabilities that underlie population and community dynamics. For microbes such as phytoplankton, however, it remains challenging to obtain individual cell traits, particularly in natural communities. Here, we provide a flow cytometry-based approach using a freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis spp. culture...
