Phenomenology

Rokitta & Rost (2012)

  • PIC production drops

(especially under low light!)

  • POC production is boosted

(especially under low light!)

  • TPC production is insensitive

Physiology

Rokitta & Rost (2012)

  • More POC despite less pigmentation and O2 evolution

 Improved energy efficiency under OA

Conclusions

  • OA causes a shunting of carbon from

calcification towards biomass production

  • OA-Responses are modulated by energy

availability and typically attenuated by high light

  • OA affects cellular signaling and the redox hub

and thereby re-wires carbon flux networks
