Growth rate (day⁻¹), particulate organic carbon (POC; pg cell⁻¹) and chlorophyll a quota (Chl a; pg cell⁻¹) as well as pigment concentrations (μg g⁻¹ Chl a) of +Fe and +DFB cultures of C. simplex

Treatment	Growth rate (day−1)	POC (pg cell−1)	Chlorophyll a (pg cell−1)	Fucoxanthin (μg g−1 Chl a)	Diadinoxanthin (μg g−1 Chl a)
+Fe	0.33 ± 0.12	9.01 ± 0.75	63.1 ± 8.0	0.445 ± 0.025	0.135 ± 0.023
+DFB	0.13 ± 0.07	5.89 ± 1.67	54.3 ± 21.1	0.457 ± 0.018	0.222 ± 0.012

Data represent mean ± SD (n = 4, +Fe; n = 3, +DFB), in case of pigment data (n = 4, +Fe; n = 2, +DFB). Statistical results are from a one-way ANOVA between treatments at significance α < 0.05
