Abstract

The formation of calcite exoskeletons by calcifying algae plays an important role in the ocean carbon cycle. In this study we determine the average calcification state of coccolithophores based on their dielectric properties using impedance flow cytometry. This will enable us to study the effect of environmental factors on single cell calcification in a wide range of coccolithophore genotypes.
