Time lapse synchrotron IR chemical imaging for observing the acclimation of a single algal cell to CO2 treatment

Abstract Algae are the main primary producers in aquatic environments and therefore of fundamental importance for the global ecosystem. Mid-infrared (IR) microspectroscopy is a non-invasive tool that allows in principle studying chemical composition on a single-cell level. For a long time, however,...
