Coccolithophore survival in darkness from batch growth experiments (Cocco-Mix project)
Abstract:
Results for batch growth experiments that lasted for 30 days on two species, Cruciplacolithus neohelis (McIntyre & Bé) Reinhardt strain CCMP298 and Chrysotila carterae (Braarud & Fagerland) Andersen, Kim, Tittley & Yoon (NCMA lists the strain as Pleurochrysis carterae) strain CCMP3337, grown in darkness with the addition of acetate, mannitol, and glycerol in final concentrations of 10, 30, 100, 300 and 1000 µmol l−1. We performed these experiments to determine whether coccolithophores (CCMP298 and CCMP3337) can sustain themselves in darkness by using organic compounds as energy and/or carbon sources.
