Description

Results of a laboratory experiment examining growth of the WH0003 isolate of Crocosphaera watsonii as a function of total Phosphorus (P) concentration, under different light intensities and pCO2 levels. WH0003 was isolated near Sta. ALOHA (A Long Term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment) in the North Pacific Ocean near Hawaii (22 deg 45' N, 158 deg 00' W).

Detailed methods and results are described in the following publication (see Figure 4, panel b):
