Gross photosynthesis

ID: 134

Class: Physiological

Description:

The rate of oxygen production measured in the light per unit of skeletal surface area. This includes oxygen consumption due to light respiration.

Standards:

• Rate (µmol O2 cm^-2 h^-1) default
• Rate (µg O2 g^-1 wet colony weight h^-1)
• Rate (µg C g^-1 dry colony weight d^-1)

Methodologies:

• Dark/light bottle method (Sorokin, 1984)
• Oxygen consumption in the dark in small flume
• Oxygen production in the light in stirring chambers
