However, since ocean acidification happens extremely fast compared to natural processes, only organisms with short generation times, such as microorganisms, are able to keep up. (oceanacidification.de)
Due to their very short generation times, this could deliver much faster results. (sciencedaily.com)
Its small stature and short generation time facilitates rapid genetic studies, and many phenotypic and biochemical mutants have been mapped. (eol.org)
