In laboratory culture experiments, phytoplankton species were exposed to a range of nickel concentrations at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. The experiments were perfomed between Feburary and August 2021. Overall, three experiments were conducted, each with a different taxonomical species (the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae, the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi and the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii). Cells were acclimated to experiment conditions for at least 1 week (under salinity 33, 18˚C, 12:12 light and dark cycle). Throughout the experiment cell density was recorded with BD Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer. After the experiment, nickel concentration was measured with ThermoFisher Scientific ElementXR. The study was supported by the OCEAN-ALK-ALIGN project funded by the Carbon to Sea and the Thistledown Foundation.
