Strain-specific morphological response of the dominant calcifying phytoplankton species Emiliania huxleyi to salinity change
Fig 2
Illustrative coccosphere (top) and coccolith (bottom) of E. huxleyi. (A) strain PLYB11 and (B) strain RCC1232. Distinctive morphological features of each strain are highlighted and measurements of coccosphere diameter (Ø), coccolith length (CL) and coccolith width (CW) referred to in this study are defined. The scale bar represents 1 μm in all instances. All images are from salinity 35 treatment.
