Pigment list.

Pigments with abbreviations (Abbrev) used for the modified Gaussian Peak Spectra (GPS) method described in this paper. Specific absorption coefficients (Abs. Coef; L g-1 cm-1) and corresponding absorbance peaks (Abs. Peak; nm) are given. The HPLC column indicates if a standard for the pigment was included in the HPLC analysis of the sampleL: lake samplesS: sedimentC: cultures.Pigments (code) are identified as follows:* = “core” setc = culture specific set (Chlamydomonasp = Planktothrixf = CryptomonasPigments not included in the final “core” set (/) due to high error rates.Pigment list.
