Project description
The amount and bioavailability of organic matter that reaches the bottom of the sea is an important structurig factor for the trophic composition of benthic communities. To determine the quality of organic matter a Victor3 multilabel reader will be used. This reader allows different measurements of food sources including cell quantification, cell conditions, enzymatic activity, protein measurements.
