P.198 left column 3rd paragraph: "Low temperatures affect several physical, chemical and biochemical processes that are important to the functioning of a CCM [carbon concentrating mechanism] in psychrophilic phytoplankton: the CO2 solubility in seawater increases from c. 13 μM at 20°C to c. 25 μM at 0°C at equilibrium with the atmosphere, the diffusion coefficient of dissolved CO2 decreases (by a factor of 2 between 20 and 0°C (Boudreau, 1997)), the affinity of enzymes for their substrate changes (e.g. the KC of diatom Rubisco decreases from c. 50 μM at 20°C to c. 15 μM at 0°C (primary source)), and the turnover rate of most enzymes decrease (e.g. by a factor of 10 for Rubisco between 20 and 0°C (primary source)), although some cold‐adapted enzymes maintain relatively high kinetics (as is apparently the case for carbonic anhydrase in the diatoms in the WAP [Western Antarctic Peninsula])." |
