Project: Planktonic interactions in a changing ocean: Biological responses of Emiliania huxleyi to elevated pCO2 and their effects on microzooplankton (E Hux Response to pCO2)

These data show cellular characterizations of two strains of Emiliania huxleyi cultured semi-continuously over a period 13-14 days under three different pCO2 concentrations (400 ppmv, 750 ppmv, and 1000 ppmv).  Cellular characterization measurements were taken throughout the course of the experiments, resulting in a time course data set.  CO2 chemistry was also monitored over the course of the experiment.  Cellular characterizations included: intrinsic growth rate, cell volume, cellular particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, cellular particulate inorganic carbon, cellular chlorophyll a, and cellular particulate dimethylsulfoniopropionate.

Emiliania huxleyi strains:

Strain NCMA 2668, calcifying phenotype, isolated from Gulf of Maine 2002
Strain NCMA 374, non-calcifying phenotype, isolated from Gulf of Maine 1990
