Figure 7.3: (A) Artificial bi<strong>of</strong>ilm cores were assigned to I <strong>of</strong> 2 water baths and left over<br />

night to acclimatise. They were then assigned to I <strong>of</strong> 4 light intensities (n = 4) (B) The<br />

minimum and maximum fluorescence yields (F,, and F. ) were recorded after the night-<br />

time/acclimation period and subsequently once an hour for the duration <strong>of</strong> the study<br />
