A 30 "/o reduction in cell number and final cell yield occurred at pH 7.8 increasing to almost 60°0 at pH 7.0; pH, decreased at more acidic external pH down to 6.38 at pH 7.0. Carbon dioxide concentration and external pH appear to be equally important in the growth of high-calcifying cells. The significance of these results is considered in relation to the development of mesoscale blooms of E. huxleyi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
