Using the silica deposition fluorescent probe PDMPO to determine growth rates...
The fluorophore [2-(4-pyridyl)-5{[4-dimethylaminoethyl-aminocarbamoyl)-methoxy]phenyl}oxazole], in short PDMPO, is incorporated in newly polymerized silica in diatom frustules... -
Jan-Feb 2024 Ocean glider observations in Greater Cook Strait, New Zealand
This dataset consists of a glider deployment in greater Te Moana-o-Raukawa (Cook Strait) as part of the DeepSouth National Science Challenge in Aotearoa New Zealand. This... -
Diatom specific growth rates based on cell concentrations and PDMPO staining
While in culture, specific growth rate (μ) can be easily determined through cell counts (N0 and Nt). This is not the case for incubations with natural assemblages, where grazers... -
Diatom cell counts and concentrations during fluorophore PDMPO incubation
To ensure balanced growth and stable conditions, all cultures were acclimated in semi-continuous batch cultures for at least nine generations before starting the experiments....
