Results of laboratory experiment examining growth and N2-fixation of Crocosphaera watsonii under differing pCO2 levels; conducted in the Hutchins Laboratory, USC

<p>Results of laboratory experiments examining growth and N2-fixation rate of two isolates of <em>Crocosphaera watsonii</em>, WH0401 and WH0402, in response to three levels of CO2 (190, air, and 750) at a light intensity of 155 umol quanta m-2 s-1. 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>
