Description

Monocultures of four Synechococcus cyanobacterium clones of were used to examine the rate of Si accumulation in response to a gradient of silicic acid concentrations  [Si(OH)4] . The data include the silicic acid concentration used during the experiment and the silica uptake rate. The experiments took place at the University of Santa Barbara Marine (UCSB) Science Institute between June and November of 2012 and the Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory (DISL) between March of 2013 and August of 2015.
