Amino acid composition data for 39 coral skeleton samples from four massive Porites spp. genotypes. The samples were cultured in an aquarium under controlled seawater pCO2 levels of 180, 260, 400, and 750 µatm and temperatures of 25 and 28°C. Data were collected between August 2020 and December 2022 by researchers including Celeste Kellock and Nicola Allison, with interpretation by a team from the British Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Modeling the relationship between seawater pCO2 and coral skeletal amino acid composition.
- Analyzing the effect of temperature variation on protein signatures in coral skeletons.
- Comparing biomolecular responses across different coral genotypes to environmental stress.
Strengths
- Data covers 39 distinct coral skeleton samples.
- Experiments were conducted under four controlled pCO2 levels and two temperature conditions.
- Samples originate from four distinct coral genotypes (G4, G5, G6, G7).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
- Source
- British Geological Survey (BGS)
- Collection Method
- Protein was extracted from skeletal samples and hydrolysed to individual amino acids after corals were cultured in an aquarium.
- Time Range
- Data collected between August 2020 and December 2022.
