The uptake kinetics of dissolved inorganic phosphate ( 31 P 1 ) by lake water microorganisms and a green alga ( Selenastrum capricornutum ) were determined as a function of uptake rates of radiophosphate ( 32 P 1 ) at added 31 P 1 levels ⩾ 0. The data did not follow a simple Michaelis‐Menten equation.
