Results of laboratory experiment examining growth, CO2- and N2-fixation of Crocosphaera watsonii isolates in differing light intensities; conducted in the Hutchins Laboratory, USC

<p>Results of laboratory experiments examining growth, CO2-fixation and gross and net N2-fixation rate capacities of two isolates of <em>Crocosphaera watsonii</em>, WH0401 and WH0402, in response to a range of light intensities. Isolates of <em>C. watsonii</em>, a unicellular marine N2-fixing cyanobacterium, were obtained from the western tropical Atlantic Ocean and cultured in the laboratory.</p> <p>Detailed methods and results are described in the following publication (see Figure 1):<br /> Garcia, N.S., Fu, F.X., Breene, C.L, Yu, E., Bernhardt, P.W., Mulholland, M.R., and Hutchins, D.A.&nbsp; (2013).&nbsp; Combined effects of CO2 and irradiance on the unicellular N2-fixing cyanobacterium Crocosphaera watsonii: a comparison of two isolates from the Western Tropical Atlantic Ocean.
