Thanks, @roy-lowry for the reply!

So we don't need to create anything new,  we just need to use 
``number_concentration_of_biological_taxon_in_sea_water`` as a single variable, 
including the``biological_taxon_name`` and the ``biological_taxon_lsid`` for 
each of our "variables"(see below)

###  "variables" (still need to be confirmed) 
> "Prochlorococcus" = "urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:345515"
>  "Bacteria" = "urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:6"
> "Synechococcus Nägeli" = "urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:160572"
> "Cyanobacteria " = "urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:146537"

-----------------------------------------------------------
**Please, see if the following example for "Prochlorococcus" would be valid for 
our case:**

-----------------------------------------------------------
dimension:
  time = 100 ;
  string80 = 80 ;
  taxon = 2 ;
variables:
  float time(time);
    time:standard_name = "time" ;
    time:units = "days since 2019-01-01" ;
  float abundance(time,taxon) ;
    abundance:standard_name = 
"number_concentration_of_organisms_in_taxon_in_sea_water" ;
    abundance:coordinates = "taxon_lsid taxon_name" ;
  char taxon_name(taxon,string80) ;
    taxon_name:standard_name = "biological_taxon_name" ;
  char taxon_lsid(taxon,string80) ;
    taxon_lsid:standard_name = "biological_taxon_lsid" ;
data:
  time = // 100 values ;
  abundance = // 200 values ;
  taxon_name = "Prochlorococcus";
  taxon_lsid = "urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:345515";
