Growth of the coccolithophore <i>Emiliania huxleyi</i> in light- and nutrient-limited batch reactors: relevance for the BIOSOPE deep ecological niche of coccolithophores
Coccolithophores are unicellular calcifying marine algae that play an important role in the oceanic carbon cycle via their cellular processes of photosynthesis (a CO<sub>2</sub> sink) and calcification (a CO<sub>2</sub> source). In contrast to the well-studied, surface-water...
