A coastal coccolithophore maintains pH homeostasis and switches carbon sources in response to ocean acidification

Calcifying species have diverse responses to ocean acidification, but the underlying mechanisms are not well-constrained. Here, Liu et al. show that O. neapolitana maintains its calcification site pH and utilizes more CO2 compared to HCO3 − to support its growth under high-CO2 conditions.
