<div><p><strong>Culturing conditions:</strong></p>
<p>Cultures of <em>E. huxleyi </em>StrainNCMA 2668 and 374 were innoculated at low cell density into media prepared from autoclaved filtered seawater with f/50 nutrient ammendment. Cell populations were allowed to acclimate for approximately five generations, until cell density neared levels likely to significantly change the pH/pCO<sub>2</sub>. Daily dilutions of cultures with pre-equilibrated media kept cell density low (<1x10<sup>5</sup> cells/ml), ensured cells remained in exponential growth phase and prevented excessive drawdown of nutrients and CO<sub>2</sub>. Cell density was determined by flow cytometry (model described below) and each flask was diluted with media that was continuously sparged with air containing 400, 750 or 1000 ppm CO<sub>2</sub>. Air mixtures were created using CO<sub>2</sub> free air (Powerex air compressor, and Twin Towers CO2 scrubber) and pure CO<sub>2</sub> (Airgas) combined using a system of mass flow controllers (Sierra Instruments) and verified using a non-dispersive infrared CO<sub>2</sub> sensor (Licor 820). Cultures were maintained in 1 liter polycarbonate flasks at 15<sup>°</sup>C under a 12/12 light dark cycle. Replicates (n=5) were placed in Plexiglas chambers which were supplied with a flow of the appropriate air mixture for each treatment. Preliminary experiments showed that gas exchange across the air/water surface significantly helped to maintain the target pCO2 in cultures without the mechanical disturbance of bubbling. Sedimentation was minimized by gentle mixing of the cultures by rotation of the bottles twice a day, during sampling and dilution. Cell densities ranged between about 30,000 cells/ml after dilutions to 80,000 cells/ml on the following day. The culture volume that was removed was used for analyses, and replaced with pre-equilibrated media. Cultures were maintianed in this fashion for 14 days. This experiment was carried out twice, in 2011 and 2012. </p>
<p><strong>CO<sub>2</sub> chemistry: </strong></p>
<p>pCO<sub>2 </sub>throughout the course of the experiment was calculated using CO2sys program, with pH and total alkalinity as variables and using Millero constants. pH was measured using a Metrohm 888 Titrando with a Metrohm Ecotrode combined electrode calibrated with TRIS and AMP buffers on the total H<sup>+</sup> ion pH scale.</p>
<p>Total alkalinity was measured with a Metrohm 888 Titrando with seawater buffers prepared by combining prepared sea salts and HCl with 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol and 2-aminopyridine.</p>
<p><strong>Intrinsic growth rate:</strong></p>
<p>Daily cell counts were made using a BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer. Manual counts were done on select samples using a hemocytometer. Manual counts were consistently within 5% of flow cytometry counts. Intrinsic growth rate was calculated using exponential growth equation.</p>

<p><strong>Cell size:</strong></p>
<p>Live cells were imaged using an Olympus CH30 compound microscope networked to a Photometric CoolSNAP camera. Cell diameter was measured using ImageJ software, and cell volume was calculated using standard geometric equations.</p>
<p><strong>Cellular chlorophyll <em>a</em>:</strong></p>
<p>Chlorophyll <em>a</em> samples were extracted for 24 h in acetone under -20 °C. Chlorophyll <em>a</em> was measured using a Turner Designs 10-AU fluorometer. The acidifying equations of Parsons were used to convert raw fluorescence into chlorophyll a concentration.</p>
<p><strong>Cellular carbon and nitrogen:</strong></p>
<p>Samples for cellular particulate carbon and nitrogen were analyzed using a CE Elantech Flash EA 1112 elemental analyzer. In all analysis blanks were run, and internal standards were inserted between samples, and remained within 1% of standard curve. For the calcifying strain (2668), samples were acid fumed for 24 h to drive off PIC. Values of organic carbon were subtracted from total carbon to yield cellular particulate inorganic carbon.</p>
<p><strong>Cellular particulate DMSP:</strong></p>
<p>A Shimadzu GC-14A gas chromatograph was used to measure cellular particulate DMSP. Standards were prepared using DMSP Cl.</p></div>
Cellular particulate DMSP from E. huxleyi at 3 pCO2 levels
<div><p>These data show cellular characterizations of two strains of <em>Emiliania huxleyi</em> cultured semi-continuously over a period 13-14 days under three different pCO2 concentrations (400 ppmv, 750 ppmv, and 1000 ppmv). Cellular characterization measurements were taken throughout the course of the experiments, resulting in a time course data set. CO2 chemistry was also monitored over the course of the experiment. Cellular characterizations included: intrinsic growth rate, cell volume, cellular particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, cellular particulate inorganic carbon, cellular chlorophyll <em>a</em>, and cellular particulate dimethylsulfoniopropionate.</p>

Strain NCMA 374, non-calcifying phenotype, isolated from Gulf of Maine 1990</p>
