Synechococcus batch culture data (cell quotas and ratios (C,N,P), size, and diameter) from laboratory experiments in 2021 to 2022 with related isolates cultured across a range of temperatures (16-25C)
Abstract:
Diverse phytoplankton modulate the coupling between the ocean carbon and nutrient cycles through life-history traits such as cell size, elemental quotas, and ratios. Biodiversity is mostly considered at broad functional levels, but major phytoplankton lineages are themselves highly diverse. As an example, Synechococcus is found in nearly all ocean regions, and we demonstrate contains extensive intraspecific variation. Here, we grew four closely related Synechococcus isolates in serially transferred cultures across a range of temperatures (16-25°C) to quantify for the relative role of intraspecific trait variation vs. environmental change. We collected data at the time of sampling, after cultures grew for seven doublings or one month. Experiments were conducted from September of 2021 to early 2022.
This dataset includes cell quotas (fmol) for carbon (QC), nitrogen (QN), and phosphorus (QP). It also includes N:P, C:N, and C:P stoichiometry, cell size, and cell diameter (µm) for each Synechococcus strain and clade under each thermal condition.
