Collins and Bell (2006)

Laboratory populations grown for 3-6 days in 384-well plates containing 90 ?L High Salt Medium per well

Collins et al. (2006)

Cell density of ten replicate lines of the microalga were propagated by batch culture in flasks housed within a phytotron through which air of 430 ppm CO2 was continually bubbled, which occurred after the passage of 600 generations of the microalga had come and gone

Collins et al. (2006)

Cell density of ten replicate lines of the microalga were propagated by batch culture in flasks housed within a phytotron through which air of gradually increasing CO2 concentration was bubbled until the concentration reached 1050 ppm, which occurred after the passage of 600 generations of the microalga had come and gone, whereupon the concentration was maintained throughout the development of 400 more algal generations

Collins et al. (2006)

Cell density of ten replicate lines from each of two clones of the microalga were propagated by batch culture in flasks housed within a phytotron through which either air of 430 ppm CO2 was continually bubbled or through which air of gradually increasing CO2 concentration was bubbled until the concentration reached 1050 ppm, which occurred after the passage of 600 generations of the microalga had come and gone, whereupon the latter concentration was maintained throughout the development of 400 more algal generations
