Abstract
Using a multifactorial design, we studied the interactive effects of temperature (15, 20, 25, 28 and 30 0C), salinity (5, 10, 15, 20 and 30) and light (low-100 and high-300 μmol photons m−2 s−1) on growth, thermal niche properties and cellular carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) of the toxic dinoflagellate, Karlodinium veneficum, originated from the Chesapeake Bay. Here we report the daily growth data measured as raw fluorescence at each experimental combination in quadruplicates and the C and N cell quota data measured in the final samples for each experimental combination in duplicates.


Coverage

Temporal Extent: 2021-06-11 - 2021-11-12

Dataset Description

These data (after processing) were  published in Vidyarathna et al (2023) as Figure 1, Figure 3 and supplementary table 1 and 3.


Methods & Sampling

Laboratory experiments were conducted in the Horn Point Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science during June 2021- January 2022.

Algal growth data was collected by measuring in vivo chlorophyll a (chl a) fluorescence (TD 700; Turner Designs, USA) of the whole cultures daily until they reach the late exponential phase (4-7 days).


Data Processing Description

No data processing, these are the raw data.

Instruments

Dataset-specific Instrument Name
Fluorometer TD 700; Turner Designs, USA.
Generic Instrument Name
Turner Designs 700 Laboratory Fluorometer
Generic Instrument Description
The TD-700 Laboratory Fluorometer is a benchtop fluorometer designed to detect fluorescence over the UV to red range. The instrument can measure concentrations of a variety of compounds, including chlorophyll-a and fluorescent dyes, and is thus suitable for a range of applications, including chlorophyll, water quality monitoring and fluorescent tracer studies. Data can be output as concentrations or raw fluorescence measurements.
