AB  - In this study, the species <I> Chaetoceros gracilis</I> was isolated from two different ecosystems (sea-lagoon) in the Bay of Izmir with very different physico-chemical environmental parameters. With the batch culture experiments carried out using the small diatom <I>C. gracilis</I>, it is aimed to determine the physiological properties of this species and also to form a basis for model studies by parameterizing its exponential growth rates, its nutrient limiting growth rates and the Michealis-Menten curves that indicate its dependence on nutrients. The fact that it is spread in a wide variety of areas from oligotrophic regions to eutrophic regions shows that this species environmental adaptation is quite interesting.
