Relationship between the allometric slope β1 (y axis) and the mean bio-volume (x axis) of the whole community (a) and of the cells retained onto the 0.6 μm filter (b). Relationship between the size-normalized respiration per cell (normalized for a cell with an average volume of 0.068 μm3; y axis) for experiments performed at the DCM and the mean bio-volume (x axis) of the whole community (c) and of the cells retained onto the 0.6 μm filter (d).
