Abstract

This dataset summarizes the results of continuous culture studies of the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus CCMP 1629 grown under controlled conditions at temperatures from 20 to 45 degrees Celsius, nutrient-replete and nitrate-limited conditions, high and low CO2 partial pressures (1000 and 400 ppm CO2), and high and low irradiance (300 and 50 micro mol quanta per square meter per second). The dataset covers a total of 48 steady states (6 temperatures x 2 CO2 partial pressures x 2 irradiances ...

The marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus clone CCMP1629 was grown in a continuous culture system on a 14:10 light-dark cycle under either nitrate-limited or nutrient-replete conditions, a photoperiod irradiance of either 50 or 300 micro-mol photons per square meter per second, partial pressures of either 400 or 1000 ppm CO2, and temperatures ranging from 20 to 45 degrees Celsius. Growth rates, photosynthetic rates, respiration rates, C:N ratios, C:Chlorophyll-a ratios, productivity indices, Fv/Fm ratios, and the initial slope and light-saturated asymptote of short-term photosynthesis-irradiance curves are reported.
