Effects of Flow Cytometric Analysis on Morphology and Viability of Fragile Phytoplankton †

RESUMO

We assessed damage done to especially delicate marine phytoplankton cells by passage through a Coulter Epics V flow cytometer. The cells did not distort or lyse after exposure to fluidics or to laser light to 1,000 mW. The cells did sustain damage evidenced by temporary growth rate depressions. The four clones tested eventually resumed control growth rates after growth lags to 48 h.
