E, exponential; S, stationary; μ, growth rate; PIC, particulate inorganic carbon; P_PIC, PIC production; POC, particulate organic carbon; P_POC, POC production; PON, particulate organic nitrogen; P_PON, PON production; TC, total carbon (PIC+POC); TN, total nitrogen (see methods for description). Values are shown as mean ± standard deviation where n = 3, except CCMP3266 at 10°C where n = 6.
