Description: 

Incubation treatment identifier. Treatments M-O were exposed to light, treatments S-U were kept in the dark. Treatments were as follows: M and S = +0, control; N and T = +4 nM Fe 57FeCl3; O and U = +600 pM Vitamin B12. The R-M, R-N, and R-O bottles were the same light treatments as M, N, and O, respectively, in replicate R-labeled 4-L incubation bottles. The notation "NONE" refers to no treatment, used to describe samples collected from the carboys of experimental seawater prior to allocation into 4L incubation bottles and treatment additions.
