3.2. Effect of presence of bacteria on N assimilation from microalgae in
Artemia
A higher N assimilation was always obtained from DT 19/6B than
from DT 19/27 in the corresponding treatments (Fig. 2). Replacement
of 90% of either alga by HT6 led to a significant reduction of N assimilation
from the microalgae (P b 0.05) as compared to the control with
100% microalgae fed Artemia. Also replacement of 90% of microalgae
by HT3 led to a significant reduction of N assimilation as compared to
the control. The combination of microalgae with HT6 always resulted
in higher N assimilation from the algae than with HT3.
