Description

BAMS - Bacterial Productivity and Photosynthesis Rates for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004

Methods & Sampling

(none provided to date)

Data Processing Description

Bacterial Productivities: Leucine incorporation (Kirchman, et al. 1985. Appl. Environm. Microbiol. 49: 599-607)

Photosynthesis: Carbon-14 incorporation (1 hr incubation) in Photosynthetron light gradient. Alpha and Pmax determined from hyperbolic curve fit.
