Methods & Sampling

The phytoplankton Rhodomonas sp. CCMP 755 was grown semi-continuously in atmosphere controlled chambers at three different CO2 treatment concentrations; Ambient (400ppmv), Moderate (750ppmv), and High (1000ppmv). Cultures were started and allowed to grow four days to reach a density of approximately 50,000 cells per ml. Cultures were then diluted daily with pre-equilibrated media containing f/50 nutrients. Each morning of dilution the cultures were gently mixed prior to a small sample being taken for cell counts. Cells were counted live on a Z2 Coulter Particle Counter. The dilution volume was then calculated to achieve a cell density of approximately 25,000 cells per ml which was the density determined in preliminary experiments to be adequate to maintain pCO2 near target concentrations.

Data Processing Description

These data are unprocessed cell counts.

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions

Instruments

Coulter Counter

Supplied Name: Z2 Coulter Particle Counter

Supplied Description:

Used to count cells

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Coulter Counter

Generic Description:

An apparatus for counting and sizing particles suspended in electrolytes. It is used for cells, bacteria, prokaryotic cells and virus particles. A typical Coulter counter has one or more microchannels that separate two chambers containing electrolyte solutions.
