Hydrolytic enzyme activities during CDOM monoculture experiment with Coscinodiscus

Abstract

This dataset is from a laboratory experiment. Four phytoplankton cultures and their associated bacterial communities were incubated in replicate roller bottles (1.9 L) over 3-6 weeks under laboratory conditions. Bacterial dynamics in the culture bottles were measured and correlated with geochemical parameters to determine the role of bacterial activities on the formation of CDOM in the cultures (Kinsey et al., 2018, see below).

The data include fluorescence and bacterial enzyme activity during CDOM Coscinodiscus monoculture experiments. Growth stages were initial and exponential.
