Overview
Feeding euplotids with algae can lead to asynchronous cell starvation and vastly different cell sizes within a culture. Asynchronous starvation also leads to different levels of mating competence. Furthermore, algal pigment remnants can interfere with many applications (e.g., fluorescence microscopy).
