Data for: An empirical process model to predict microalgal carbon fixation rates in photobioreactors

Chlorella vulgaris CS-42 batch-cultured in photobioreactors (Phenometrics) at 1,200 uE surface irradiance, 12/12 h light/dark cycle and 20 C. [C-] stands for the carbon-limited treatment, where the culture was aerated but no additional CO2 was supplied. [C+] stands for the carbon-replete treatment, where CO2 was supplied on-demand to maintain a pH-stat around pH 8.5. There are 3 biological replicates for each treatment.
