Effects of the pH/<i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> control method on medium chemistry and phytoplankton growth

The control of key chemical parameters in phytoplankton cultures, such as <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub>, pH and Ω (the saturation state of calcium carbonate), is made difficult by the interdependence of these parameters and by the changes resulting from the growth of the organisms,...
