Adapting the CHEMTAX method for assessing phytoplankton taxonomic composition in Southeastern U.S. estuaries (2005, methodology): “Menden-Deuer et al. (2001) found that estimates of cellular carbon (C) from fixed-cell volumes approximated those from live-cell volumes, when the preservation effects on several species were combined.”
How to effectively sample the plankton size spectrum? A case study using FlowCAM (2011, background): “There are two effects causing this change, the different preservation response of organisms to fixation and the different effect of shrinkage (Leakey et al., 1994; Menden-Deuer et al., 2001).”
Carbon‐to‐chlorophyll ratio for phytoplankton in temperate coastal waters: Seasonal patterns and relationship to nutrients (2016, background): “Both factors depend on the microscope operator, who may overlook small cells, and on sample age and fixative used (Jerome et al. 1993; Menden-Deuer et al. 2001; Culverhouse et al. 2003; Jakobsen and Carstensen 2011; Jakobsen et al. 2015).”
Gradient analysis of cryoconite ecosystems from two polar glaciers (2003, background): “Fixative induced cell shrinkage and/or swelling has been shown to occur with a variety of phytoplankton species (Meden-Deuer et al. 2001), and this may have affected biovolume measurements.”
Light backscattering properties of marine phytoplankton: relationships to cell size, chemical composition and taxonomy (2004, background): “We are confident that the high values of carbon density are not the result of cell shrinkage from exposure to glutaraldehyde, which has been shown to sometimes cause significant changes in cell volume (Verity et al., 1992; Menden-Deuer et al., 2001).”
Composition and biomass of phytoplankton assemblages in coastal Antarctic waters: a comparison of chemotaxonomic and microscopic analyses (2003, background): “While the effect of sample fixation on cell volume can be variable (Menden-Deuer et al. 2001), the correction factor measured by Montagnes et al. (1994) can be consid- ered as an average value for a mixed phytoplankton community.”
A global diatom database – abundance, biovolume and biomass in the world ocean (2012, unknown): “} [15]{Laboratoire des Bio-Indicateurs Actuels et Fos siles (BIAF), UPRES EA 2644, Université d'Angers,49 0 5 Angers CEDEX 01, France} [16]{UCLA, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA} [17]{University of Groningen, Centre for Life Scien ces Ecophysiology of Plants, PO Box 11103, 9700 CC Groningen, the ”
