Abstract
In cultures, the DNA/C ratio remained almost constant during all phasesof growth and growth rate was linearly related to the RNA/DNA ratio.Theamount of living biomass was never {\textless}57{%} of the totalparticulate carbon and average growth rates ranged from {\textless}0.3divisions/d to {\textgreater}4 divisions/d...beware of detrital DNAand interspecific differences.
