Growth response of eight marine phytoplankton organisms to gibberellins 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 (usually 10 ‒7 to 10 ‒9 g/ml) were tested in mixed cultures. The extent of the growth promotion where measurable was not large. Slight growth inhibition was more common. Gibberellin 1 was possibly contaminated with an inhibitor. It appeared that gibberellin 5 was the most effective particularly for Skeletonema and Peridinium, with possibly gibberellin 7 as the only other of the group promoting increased growth.
