Unified Field Study 2 (UFS-2)

Description

The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the second Unified Field Study (UFS-2), performed April to May 2014, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for the algal strain Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 as a function of different regional, and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production process and protocols, system scale, and algae strain. For more information about the UFS experiments see the reference resources 0.0 UFS-1 Experiment OpenEI Wiki Page, 0.1 ATP3 OpenEI Wiki Page, 0.2 Report on the Use of ATP3 UFS Data, and 0.3 ATP3 UFS Journal Article below.

8 The data include the lipid (FAMELipids.AF), protein (Protein.AF) and carbohydrate (Carbohydrates.AF) content of biomass harvested from the ponds throughout the cultivation experiment and immediately freeze-dried. All data presented here are averaged over technical replicates and expressed as percent (%) on an ash-free dry weight basis of harvested biomass. Some data points are missing due to either data not meeting the rigorous QC requirements or experimental errors during data collection. https://data.openei.org/files/689/atp3ufs2composition.csv
8 These data include date, strain, batch and source ID, pond treatment, and depth (cm). Harvest data include harvest number, time between harvests, harvest volume (L), amount harvested (g), ash-free dry weight (AFDW; g L−1) at the time of harvest, and an indication of a pond crash. https://data.openei.org/files/689/harvestdata.apr032014.ka32.csv

8 These data include the date, strain, batch and source ID, pond treatment and depth (cm), harvest number and time between harvests, harvest volume (L), amount (g), ash-free dry weight (AFDW; g/L) at the time of harvest, and an indication of a pond crash, operator comments, measured pond depth (cm), pH, salinity, pond water temperature (C), nitrogen concentration (ppm as N), phosphorus concentration (ppm as P), N:P ratio (molar), the sample ID and tracking ID of a physical sample (if taken), the algae concentration (g/L) as dry weight and ash-free dry weight (AFDW), the ash content of the algal biomass (%), and the optical density at 680nm and 750nm (OD750). Also supplied are calculated metrics of evaporation rate (cm/day), total N (NO3 or NH4) supplied (g), total N utilized (g), N efficiency (%), N demand (g N/g AFDW), total P supplied (g), total P utilized (g), P efficiency (%), P demand (g P/g AFDW), photosynthetic biomass production (mg AFDW/mol PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) input and mg AFDW/kW GLE (global light energy) input). https://data.openei.org/files/689/summary.combined.apr032014.ka32.csv
