Abstract:

<p>Data corresponding to culture observations of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma cultured in independently variable conditions. Corresponds to article: Adele Westgård, Mohamed M Ezat, Thomas B Chalk, Melissa Chierici, Gavin L Foster, Julie Meilland, Large-scale culturing of <i>Neogloboquadrina pachyderma</i>, its growth in, and tolerance of, variable environmental conditions, Journal of Plankton Research, Volume 45, Issue 5, September/October 2023, Pages 732–745, https://doi.org/10.1093/plankt/fbad034 </p> <p>The data is observational data from culturing experiments of polar planktic foraminifera <i>Neogloboquadrina pachyderma</i> grown under independently variable conditions. Small (<100um), healthy (active rhizopodial network, test full of brightly coloured cytoplasm) specimens were collected from the Greenland Sea (74.5N, 01.6E), placed into individual bottled and placed into incubators upon return to the ARCLIM culturing lab at UiT, Tromsø. Culturing conditions were temperatures 2-7C, salinity 29.8-36.7, pH 7.8-8.4. This dataset described the biological response, including growth, size, mortality of the specimens in said conditions as well as the growth patterns of asexually reproduced offspring.</p>
