A dash (−) represents no method for controlling the carbon chemistry or an undefined growth condition. Arrows represent an increase (↑), decrease (↓) or negligible (→) effect of ocean acidification (OA) on growth. ImageJ was used to obtain growth rates from figures reported in literature. Note that superscripts in the CO2 column indicate the following differences from the standard YBCII culture medium
a = 40 pM Fe´
b = 1250 pM Fe´
c = 100 μM NO3-
d = 0.5 μM P
e = 20 nM Ni and
f = 100 nM Ni.
