Summary of experimental conditions, associated metabolic conditions and the intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) response by Emiliania huxleyi and Thalassiosira oceanica.
| Treatment | Condition | Metabolic state | HiDP DMSP (mM) | LoDP DMSP (mM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | ≤ T opt | Balanced | ↑ | ↑ |
| > T opt | Imbalanced | – | NA | |
| Nitrate limited | Semi‐continuous | Imbalanced | – | ↑ |
| Salinity | Hyposaline (≤ opt salinity) | Unknown | – | NA |
| Hypersaline (> opt salinity) | Unknown | ↑ | ↑ |
↑, increased intracellular DMSP; −, no significant change in intracellular DMSP; HiDP, high producers; LoDP, low producers; NA, intracellular DMSP could not be measured.
