Acquisition description

(none provided to date)

Processing description

Bacterial Productivities: Leucine incorporation (Kirchman, et al. 1985. Appl. Environm. Microbiol. 49: 599-607)

Photosynthesis: Carbon-14 incorporation (1 hr incubation) in Photosynthetron light gradient. Alpha and Pmax determined from hyperbolic curve fit.
