Cr CC1690 cells were grown photoautotrophically in TP62 (link), TP10, or B&D medium63 (link) at 25 °C, and the illumination of 125 μmol m−2 s−1 under continuous light conditions. Cultures were kept in a rotatory shaker at 70 RPM. Cells in the mid-logarithmic phase were used as inocula for the different experiments. Cell growth was determined either by measuring samples in a Multisizer 4e Coulter counter (Beckman Coulter Inc., California, USA) particle counter with the Beckman Coulter Multisizer software (v4.03) or using an Infinite M200Pro (TECAN Austria GmbH, Grödig, Austria) plate reader with the TECAN i-control software (v2.0.10.0), to determine either absorbance at 750 nm or chlorophyll fluorescence (excitation 440/9 nm, emission 680/20 nm).
