Project: Understanding the Role of Picocyanobacteria in the Marine Silicate Cycle (Si_in_Syn)

This dataset contains the light level used during experimental treatments of Synechococcus cyanobacterium clones and resulting measured silica quotas.  Experiments took place at the Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory (DISL) between January to  April of 2014.

These results are also presented in the following paper:
