The minimum amount of cyanocohalamin for production of one $ of cell was estimated for 7 clones of marine centric diatoms isolated from cstuarinc, neritic, and oceanic environments. The number of molcculcs of B12 per $ varied from 5 to 18.4; thus the diatoms have about the same requirement as do other organisms. The neritic species Skeletonema
