Temperature effect on growth, cell size, calcium uptake activity, coccolith production was studied in coccolith-producing haptophytes,Emiliania huxleyi(Lohmann) Hay & Mohler (strain EH2) andGephyrocapsa oceanicaKamptner (strain GO1) (Coccolithophorales, Prymnesiophyceae).E. huxleyigrew at a wider temperature range (10°–25°C), whileG. oceanicagrowth was limited to warmer temperatures (20°–25°C). Cell size was inversely correlated with temperature. At low temperature, the enlargement of chloroplasts and cells and the stimulation of coccolith production were morphologically confirmed under fluorescent and polarization microscopes, respectively.45Ca uptake byE. huxleyiat 10°C was greatly increased after a 5-day lag and exceeded that at 20°C. These results clearly showed that low temperature suppressed coccolithophorid growth but induced cell enlargement and as stimulated the intracellular calcification that produces coccoliths.
