Abstract

The study to examine the calcification rate, adaptation, and the biotic response of three tropical coccolithophorids (Emiliania huxleyi, Gephyrocapsa oceanica, and Ochosphaera sp) to changes in CO₂ concentration. Three selected calcifying coccolitophorids were grown at batch culture with CO₂ system at two levels of CO₂ (385 and 1000 ppm) and two light dark periods. The parameters measured and calculation including growth rate, particulate organic carbon content, particulate inorganic carbon content, chlorophyll a, cell size, photosynthetic, organic, inorganic carbon production, photosynthesis, and calcification rate. The results showed that there was a different response to carbonate chemistry changes and dark and light periods in any of the analyzed parameters. The growth rate of three selected calcifying microalgae tested was decreasing significantly at high concentrations of CO₂ (1000 ppm) treatment on 14:10 hour light: dark periods. However, there was no significant difference between the two CO₂ concentrations where they were illuminated by 24 hours light in growth rate. The increasing CO₂ concentration and light-dark periods were species-specific responses to photosynthesis and calcification rate for three selected calcifying microalgae.
