During the last two decades, large-scale high biomass algal blooms of dinoflagellate Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu have occurred frequently in East China Sea (ECS). The role increasing nutrient concentrations driving those is well-established, but source population that initiates them poorly understood. We hypothesized front Taiwan Warm Current (TWC) may serve as a 'seed bank' P. ECS, physiochemical conditions TWC are suitable for growth donghaiense. In order to test this hypothesis, surveys...
Prorocentrum donghaiense is a common but dominant harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, which widely distributed along the China Sea coast. Development of methods for rapid and precise identification quantification prerequisite early-stage warning monitoring blooms due to P. donghaiense. In this study, sequences representing partial large subunit rDNA (D1–D2), small internal transcribed spacer region (ITS-1, 5.8S ITS-2) were firstly obtained, then seven candidate DNA probes designed performing...
Ciguatera poisoning is mainly caused by the consumption of reef fish that have accumulated ciguatoxins (CTXs) produced benthic dinoflagellates Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. China has a long history problems with ciguatera, but research on ciguatera causative organisms very limited, especially in Beibu Gulf, where coral reefs been degraded significantly CTXs exceeded food safety guidelines. Here, five strains spp. were collected from Weizhou Island, hotspot identified light scanning electron...
As a marine ichthyotoxic dinoflagellate, Margalefidinium polykrikoides, previously named Cochlodinium have caused mass mortalities of fish worldwide during blooms. Rapid detection target species is prerequisite for the timely monitoring and early warning harmful algal blooms (HABs). However, it difficult to achieve rapid identification with traditional methods. The technology using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) detect quantify microalgae relatively mature. Based on accuracy, rapidity,...
The dinoflagellates Karenia mikimotoi (toxic) and Prorocentrum donghaiense (non-toxic) have caused serious blooms in Chinese coastal waters. Although many studies investigated the mechanisms underlying harmful algal of these two species, research on bacterial communities associated with K. P. is still limited. In this study, composition were cultured strains. genera highest relative abundance cultures Balneola Marinobacter respectively. There 26 specifically present cultures, including...
PLZT (7.5/65/35) thin films were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering on single crystal Si substrates using an oxide sintered target with excess PbO. The effects of postannealing and bottom Pt/Ti electrodes the film structures ferroelectric properties studied. Film at 200/spl deg/C or below crystallizes to a perovskite phase after annealing treatment 550/spl above, structure depends treatment. best electronic obtained when annealed 600/spl 650/spl for 1 h in O/sub 2/. For two-layer...
