To understand the importance of various species of phytoplankton                in the marine food web, it is vital to have a good method to                    estimate species-specific growth rates.  In his previous award,                 Carpenter developed a method to do this, based on the diel cycle                of DNA synthesis. This award marks the first step in applying                   this method to the field and examines simple ecological questions               such as whether organisms in the deep chlorophyll maximum can                   achieve a division rate comparable to that of near-surface                      phytoplankton by adapting to a low-light, nutrient-rich                         environment.  Laboratory research in this projects stresses                     improving the existing method by estimating the magnitude of the                errors under situations violating original assumptions used.
