Macroscopic observations of floating plastic debris collected at several places along the Catalan coast (northwestern Mediterranean) showed conspicuous green-yellow patches adhered to them. The microscopic examination these that they were constituted mainly benthic diatoms and small flagellates (

Recurrent fish kills in the Spanish Alfacs Bay (NW Mediterranean) have been detected during winter seasons since 1994, and were attributed to an unarmored, ichthyotoxic, dinoflagellate, initially identified as Gyrodinium corsicum Paulmier, Berland, Billard, & Nezan. Several strains isolated from bay their clonal cultures compared by combined techniques, including light electron microscopy, internal transcribed spacer 5.8S rDNA nucleotide sequencing, HPLC pigment analyses, together with...
Alexandrium taylori Balech is a phototrophic marine dinoflagellate. It produced recurrent blooms during the summer months (July and August) of 1994 to 1997 in La Fosca beach (NW Mediterranean). In addition motile vegetative form, A. had two benthic forms: temporary cysts resting cysts.

The frequency and intensity of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. blooms along the coast Catalonia have been increasing over past 20 years. As species from this genus that are documented as toxigenic found in local waters, with both toxic nontoxic cooccurring same bloom, there is a need to develop management tools for discriminating difference. Currently, differentiation requires time-consuming electron microscopy distinguish taxonomic features would allow identification species, cryptic can still remain...
The influence of organic nutrients on the evolution Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima cultures was investigated in an enrichment experiment with high-molecular-weight dissolved matter (HMWDOM) and uptake assay 15N-ammonium 15N-urea. HMWDOM extracted from seawater collected at a nearby shore station during decline diatom bloom. Four incubations were prepared: L1/5+DOM (P. grown L1 growth medium 1/5 nitrate concentration standard L1), (L1-N)+DOM (L1 without nitrate, i.e. nitrogen-deficient...
Potentially toxic species of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia were studied along Spanish NW Mediterranean coast from January 2005 to May 2006. Observation in electron microscopy revealed presence brasiliana, P. calliantha, delicatissima, fraudulenta, multistriata and pungens. Several strains isolated coastal waters their clonal cultures compared by combined techniques, including light internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1, 5.8S ITS-2) rDNA sequencing. Cultured isolates submitted HPLC analysis...
Proliferations of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia recur along Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean) throughout year. The establishment 58 clonal cultures facilitated morphological studies with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ITS 5.8S rDNA sequence characterization. Moreover, strains each species were examined respect to sexual compatibility toxicity. results phylogenetic confirmed nine Pseudo-nitzschia: P. brasiliana, calliantha, delicatissima clade A/del 2, arenysensis, fraudulenta, galaxiae,...
