Series 2A-1: Multiple stressor experiments on T. pseudonana (CCMP1014) – cell abundance and cell size in experiments

Abstract

These experiments were designed to test the combined effects of temperatures and light intensity on the growth growth rate (mu) and photophysiology of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana CCMP 1014 in a multifactorial design. Experiments were conducted in artificial seawater supplemented with 5% sterilized seawater. Six temperatures (13.5°C, 20°C, 25°C, 29°C, 31°C, and 32.5°C), and eight light intensities (25, 50, 80, 115,190, 300, 400 and 600 umol photons · m-2 · s-1 ) were tested during the course of these experiments. This dataset contains measurements of cell abundances and cell size expressed as forward scatter (FSC) as well as in equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) in microns.
