Series 1B-2: Multiple stressor experiments on T. pseudonana (CCMP1335) – cell abundance and cell size in experiments

Abstract

Four follow-up experiments on the combined effect of light and temperature changes on the growth rate (mu) and photophysiology of Thalassiosira pseudonana CCMP 1335 were conducted to supplement / repeat series 1A experiments. This was necessary because doubt existed regarding the growth during 1A experiments. 1A experiments were conducted in artificial seawater. 1B experiments were conducted in artificial seawater supplemented with 5% sterilized seawater. The experiments were designed to test the combined effects of four temperatures, and eight light intensities on the growth and photophysiology of the diatom T. pseudonana CCMP1335 in a multifactorial design. This dataset contains measurements of cell abundances and cell size expressed as forward scatter (FSC) as well as in equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) in µm
