Table 1. Growth parameters of Prochlorococcus with or without Alteromonas under ambient (~400 p.p.m.) or elevated (~800 p.p.m.) CO2 regimes.

CO2 treatment m (day1) μ (day1) L (day) D
Ambient 0.353±0.040 0.440±0.023 2.21±1.38 0.223±0.165
Elevated 0.187±0.041 0.426±0.071 10.14±3.53 0.688±0.164
Ambient axenic 0.048±0.060 0.219±0.098 9.73±10.82 0.539±0.286
Elevated axenic 0.027±0.086 0.095±0.124 4.57±10.93 0.699±0.443

Values are means of replicate cultures±95% confidence intervals (n=6, non-axenic; n= 7, ambient axenic; n=4, elevated axenic). m, realized growth rate over at least two consecutive batch cultures; μ, exponential growth rate of individual cultures; L, lag phase duration; D, die-off proportion.
