Abstract

Cell volumes were calculated for 8 species of marine cryptophytes grown under full-spectrum, blue, green, or red light during laboratory-based growth experiments conducted in February of 2018.

Full details are available in Heidenreich & Richardson (2020).

Cell volumes were calculated using a Nikon Eclipse TS100 inverted microscope at 200x magnification using live cells that were left on the stage for a period of time to slow their swimming speed.

Cell sizes were performed using non-preserved cells. We found that preserving these cryptophytes caused them to shrink or swell; response was unpredictable among species.

We assumed the shape was a prolate spheroid; where V = pi/6 * Length * width^2

Light treatments (all with 30 umol m^-2 s^-1 light intensity):

Full = Full Spectrum
Blue = Blue only
Green = Green only
Red = Red only

Each row in the data table corresponds to measurements from one cell within one of the light treatments.
