De Bodt et al. (2010)

Calcification rates of cocolithophores (Emiliania huxleyi, strain AC481) grown under normal and reduced pH conditions. pH was altered by the addition of CO2. Incident photon flux density was 150 µmol m-2 s-1, light/dark cycle was 14h/10h, salinity was 35.6 and the culture medium was enriched with nitrates and phosphates to yield a final concentration of 32 µmol L-1 and 1 µmol L-1, respectively.

Sciandra et al. (2003)

Net calcification rates (as measured by budgeting the change in total alkalinity) were determined for coccolithophores (Emiliania huxleyi) growing in controlled nitrogen-limiting chambers over a period of 16 days. Reduced pH values were obtained by bubbling CO2 enriched air into the experiment cultures and temperatures were maintained at 17°C.

Net calcification rates (as measured by budgeting the change in particulate inorganic carbon) were determined for coccolithophores (Emiliania huxleyi) growing in controlled nitrogen-limiting chambers over a period of 16 days. Reduced pH values were obtained by bubbling CO2 enriched air into the experiment cultures and temperatures were maintained at 17°C.
