<p>There are five species/strains of phytoplankton:<em> Pseudo-nitzschia</em> <em>subcurvata</em> LN, <em>Pseudo-nitzschia</em> <em>subcurvata</em> HN,<em> Chaetoceros</em> sp. LN, <em>Fragilariopsis cylindrus</em> HN, and <em>Phaeocystis antarctica </em>HN. The physiological response of these five species/strains to four treatments was investigated: 0°C-Fe limited (1nM),&nbsp; 0°C-Fe replete (500nM),&nbsp; 4°C-Fe limited (1nM),&nbsp; 4°C-Fe replete (500nM).</p> <p>We report: carbon fixation rates, Fe uptake rates, Fe uptake rates to carbon fixation rates ratio; carbon quota, nitrogen quota, phosphorus quota, and silicate quota; cell volume, cell surface area to cell volume ratios; carbon quota to Chl a ratio, Chl a per cell; and Fv/Fm of <em>Pseudo-nitzschia</em> <em>subcurvata</em> LN and <em>Chaetoceros</em> sp. LN .</p>
