Provenance & quality
Phytoplankton bioassays were initially filtered through a 100 µm mesh, 3x35 ml of filtered water treatments were spiked with the different nutrient additions. Tubes were then incubated for 14 days at 20°C. Following the incubation period, the contents of the tubes were resuspended and filtered onto Whatman GF/C filters and frozen at -20°C.
Filters in all cases were defrosted and extracted in 7.36 ml hot methanol, with absorbance readings obtained from a Hitachi U2800 UV/Visible spectrophotometer using a 5cm cuvette.
Data were entered into a spreadsheet and manually checked for transcription errors. Data from all experiments were collated into a single file for data archiving purposes.
