This dataset contains the fraction of water-soluble silica in Synechococcus cyanobacterium cells.  The concentration of external silicic acid [Si(OH)4] during the experiment is also included.  Experiments took place at the Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory (DISL) between March of 2013 to August of 2015.

These results are also presented in the following paper (Brzezinski et al., 2017).
