Monoculture experiments in CO2-limited chemostats. (a, b) Population density (expressed as biovolume) and light intensity penetrating through the chemostat (Iout). (c, d) CO2 and bicarbonate concentrations. (e, f) Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and pH. Panels a, c and e show data for the toxic strain Microcystis CYA140, whereas b, d and f show data for the non-toxic strain Microcystis CYA43. Symbols represent chemostat data, lines show the model fits. Parameter values are given in Tables 1 and 2.
