Effects of pH on the growth and carbon uptake of marine phytoplankton
Open accessAbstract
This study examines the growth and photosynthetic response of marine phytoplankton to a naturally occurring range of pH's.Growth rates were determined for Thalassiosira pseudonana and Thalassiosira oceanica via in vivo fluorescence measurements; photosynthetic rates were measured via I4carbon uptake using mesocosm tank assemblages of phytoplankton.A pH range of 7.0 to 9.4 was used for both sets of experiments and consistent declines of growth rate and photosynthesis were observed at high pH levels ( > p H 8.8).The pH response of the 2 phytoplankton species and the tank assemblages appeared to correlate with calculated concentrations of free carbon dioxide indicating a possible carbon substrate limitation at high pH.Half-aturation values for calculated [CO2] were determined for cell growth rates and for photosynthesis using the Monod equation (K, = 0.5 PM) and Michaelis-Menten equahon (K, = 1.3 PM), respectively.These values were within the range of values measured for phytoplankton in previous studes.Based on this evidence, it is suggested that at high pH levels the availabhty of CO2 may become limiting to manne phytoplankton growth and photosynthesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
