Dataset: Trichodesmium growth rate and cell size related to pCO2 and nutrients from experiments conducted at the University of Southern California from 2011-2013 (HiCO2_AdaptCyano project)

Trichodesmium erythraeum growth rates per day for all replicates in each treatment calculated from cell counts. Trichodesmium erythraeum was grown in biological triplicate under two CO2 regimes (380 and 750 uatm pCO2) and four different nutrient regimes (replete, phosphorus-limited,iron-limited, iron/phosphorus colimited). 

These data were utilized in the following publications:
