Abstract
Hutchins <i>et al</i> question the validity of our results showing that under fast growth conditions, the beneficial effect of high CO<sub>2</sub> on <i>Trichodesmium</i> is overwhelmed by the deleterious effect of the concomitant decrease in ambient and cellular pH. The positive effect of acidification reported by Hutchins and co-workers is likely caused by culture conditions that support suboptimal growth rates.
