Traits of three Symbiodinium genotypes measured at ambient and elevated temperatures

Abstract:

Traits of three genotypes measured at ambient and elevated temperatures. Replicates of each Symbiodinium genotype were grown in ambient (26 degrees) and elevated (30 degrees) temperatures, after which were measured physiological parameters, including the number of cells, quantum yield, variable fluorescence, and chlorophyll content.

Description

This dataset includes the abundance, quantum yield, fluorescence, and chlorophyll values from three Symbiodinium genotypes that were grown at two temperatures, 26 and 30 degrees C.

Methods & Sampling

Replicates of each Symbiodinium genotype were grown in ambient (26 degrees) and elevated (30 degrees) temperatures, after which were measured physiological parameters, including the number of cells, quantum yield, variable fluorescence, and chlorophyll content.

Fluorometer

Supplied Name: Trilogy Laboratory Fluorometer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.
