“…Mass and molar pigment ratios from monospecific cultures obtained by HPLC and published in the literature (Buma et al, 1991;Vaulot et al, 1994;Moisan and Mitchell, 1999;Schlüter et al, 2000;Brotas and Plante-Cuny, 2003;Antajan et al, 2004;Latasa et al, 2004;Zapata et al, 2004Zapata et al, , 2011Zapata et al, , 2012Rodríguez et al, 2006;Laza-Martinez et al, 2007;Quijano-Scheggia et al, 2008;Astoreca et al, 2009;Seoane et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2011Liu et al, , 2014van Leeuwe et al, 2014;Organelli et al, 2017;Clementson and Wojtasiewicz, 2019b;Fagín et al, 2019) were compiled and combined with our measurements to produce a harmonized dataset of pigmentation in cyanobacteria and microalgae. By harmonized we mean that the pigment resolving power of each method was taken in consideration together with the pigment distribution across pigmentation groups (Jeffrey et al, 2011) and that mass and molar ratios were inter-converted as necessary by using the molecular weight of each pigment (Egeland et al, 2011).…”
