Growth of S. microadriaticum. a Cell proliferation curve of S. microadriaticum for days 6 to 16 after subculturing in different free-living conditions. Error bars represent standard errors of the mean. n = 3. b Percentage of mastigote and coccoid in S. microadriaticum grown in different free-living conditions. Con, control condition in unmodified f/2 medium; N, nitrogen-limited condition that one-quarter of the original nitrate concentration was used; Fe, iron-limited condition that iron concentration reduced to a hundredth of its original in f/2; P, phosphate-limited condition that phosphate was at an eighth of its original concentration in f/2. Each bar stands for a biological replicate
