The effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth harmful red tide dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides were examined in laboratory. From 60 different combinations temperature (10–30°C) (10–40) under saturated irradiance, C. exhibited its maximum specific rate 0.41 day−1 at a combination 25°C 34. Optimum rates >0.3 observed temperatures ranging from 21 to 26°C salinities 30 36. organism did not grow ≤10°C only grew >30 if was >15°C. It able 15 30°C 20 These values...
This is the first report to explore fine‐scale diversity, population genetic structure, and biogeography of a typical planktonic microbe in Japanese Korean coastal waters also try detect impact natural human‐assisted dispersals on structure gene flow toxic dinoflagellate species. Here we present analysis Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech populations from 10 sites along coasts. We used nine microsatellite loci, which varied widely number alleles diversity across populations. The revealed...
Growth responses of the red tide flagellates, Heterocapsa circularisquama (Dinophyceae) and Chattonella verruculosa (Raphidophyceae), were examined with 36 different combinations temperature (5–30°C) salinity (10–35 PSU). did not grow at or below a 10°C. The maximum growth rate H.circularisquama (1.3 divisions day−1) was obtained combination 30°C 30 PSU. In contrast, C. 10 PSU temperatures 25°C more.

Raphidophycean flagellates, Chattonella marina and C. ovata, are harmful red tide phytoplankters; blooms of these phytoplankters often cause severe damage to fish farming. Previous studies have demonstrated that ovata continuously produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion (O2−) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under normal growth conditions, an ROS-mediated toxic mechanism against other marine organisms has been proposed. Although the exact ROS generation in still remains be...

Abstract The outbreak of paralytic shellfish poisoning caused by the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella (Dinophyceae) is a worldwide concern from economic and food hygiene point view. To assess dispersal mechanism, population genetic study using highly polymorphic markers one crucial approaches. We isolated 12 microsatellites this species. These loci provide class variable marker as number alleles ranged three to estimate gene diversity was 0.248 0.897 across microsatellites; we...

Abstract Outbreaks of paralytic shellfish poisoning caused by the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense (Dinophyceae) are currently a serious problem from an economic and food hygiene point view throughout world. We isolated 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci this species. These provided markers with high polymorphism ranging four to 15 alleles per locus gene diversity between 0.632 0.974. The available for more detailed investigations genetic structure flow A. populations.
The identification and quantification of okadaic acid (OA)/dinophysistoxin (DTX) analogues pectenotoxins (PTXs) in Dinophysis samples collected from coastal locations around Japan were evaluated by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. species identified analyzed included fortii, D. acuminata, mitra (Phalacroma mitra), norvegica, infundibulus, tripos, caudata, rotundata rotundatum), rudgei. dominant toxin found acuminata was PTX2 although some contained DTX1 as a minor toxin. specimens...
Heterocapsa circularisquama Horiguchi is lethal to shellfish, particularly bivalves such as pearl oysters ( Pinctada fucata Gould). No detrimental effects of this flagellate on fish have been observed thus far. In study, we found that H. causes mammalian erythrocytes lyse. Among the tested, rabbit showed highest susceptibility, whereas from cattle, sheep, and human were relatively insensitive. triquetra Stein, which morphologically similar but not toxic bivalves, no hemolytic activity toward...
