Temperature variability interacts with mean temperature to influence the predictability of microbial phenotypes

Abstract: Despite their relatively high thermal optima (T opt ), tropical taxa may be particularly vulnerable to a rising baseline and increased temperature variation because they live in relatively stable temperatures closer to their T opt . We examined how microbial eukaryotes with differing thermal histories responded to temperature fluctuations of different amplitudes (0 control, ±2, ±4°C) around mean temperatures below or above their T opt . Cosmopolitan dinoflagellates were selected based on their distinct thermal… Show more

“…Further physiological studies on single species under heatwaves might help to shed light on this question, but here, compositional shifts were apparently driven more by the fluctuation of temperature than its absolute value. This in mind, note that responses to fluctuating temperature are not independent of the thermal history and the optimal temperatures of different species, which is why elevated future mean temperatures likely also have an effect on heatwave responses ( 58 ).…”

“…Dilutions were calculated to bring the cultures back down to the biomass levels that were recorded after the previous day's dilution. In this way, cultures were allowed to determine their own growth rates under each set of experimental conditions, without ever nearing stationary phase, significantly depleting nutrients or self-shading (Fu et al, 2022). For all experiments, cultures were sampled for a basic set of core biomass and physiological parameters, including cell counts, CO2 fixation, particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate organic nitrogen (PON), particulate organic phosphorus (POP) and biogenic silica (BSi, diatoms only) once steady-state growth was obtained for each growth condition (typically after 8−10 generations).…”
