Role Of Dissolved Nitrate And Phosphate In Isolates Of Mesodinium Rubrum And Toxin-Producing Dinophysis Acuminata, Mm Tong, Jl Smith, Dm Kulis, Dm Anderson Jan 2015

Role Of Dissolved Nitrate And Phosphate In Isolates Of Mesodinium Rubrum And Toxin-Producing Dinophysis Acuminata, Mm Tong, Jl Smith, Dm Kulis, Dm Anderson

VIMS Articles

Mesodinium rubrum (as prey) is a critical component, in addition to light, for growth and toxin production by the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Dinophysis acuminata. Little is known, however, about the role that dissolved inorganic nutrients play in this predator-prey relationship and system toxicity. A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the possible uptake of dissolved nitrate and phosphate by (1) D. acuminata starved of prey, (2) D. acuminata feeding on M. rubrum, and (3) M. rubrum grown in nutritionally modified medium. All single-clone or mixed cultures were monitored for dissolved and particulate nutrient levels over the growth cycle, as well …


Perkinsus Sp Infections And In Vitro Isolates From Anadara Trapezia (Mud Arks) Of Queensland, Australia, C Dang, Cf Dungan, Gp Scott, Kimberly S. Reece Jan 2015

Perkinsus Sp Infections And In Vitro Isolates From Anadara Trapezia (Mud Arks) Of Queensland, Australia, C Dang, Cf Dungan, Gp Scott, Kimberly S. Reece

VIMS Articles

Perkinsus sp. protists were found infecting Anadara trapezia mud ark cockles at 6 sites in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, at prevalences of 4 to 100% during 2011 as determined by surveys using Ray's fluid thioglycollate medium. Perkinsus sp. lesions were found among gill and visceral connective tissues in histological samples from several cockles, where basophilic, eccentrically vacuolated Perkinsus sp. signet ring trophozoites and proliferating, Perkinsus sp. schizont cells were documented. Two Perkinsus sp. isolates were propagated in vitro during August 2013 from gill tissues of a single infected A. trapezia cockle from Wynnum in Moreton Bay. DNA from those isolate …

Following the identification of the first toxic isolate of Dinophysis acuminata from the northwestern Atlantic, we conducted detailed investigations into the morphology, phylogeny, physiology, and toxigenicity of three isolates from three sites within the northeastern U.S./Canada region: Eel Pond and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and the Bay of Fundy. Another isolate, collected from the Gulf of Mexico, was grown under the same light, temperature, and prey conditions for comparison. Despite observed phenotypic heterogeneity, morphometrics and molecular evidence classified the three northwestern Atlantic isolates as D. acuminata Claparede & Lachmann, whereas the isolate from the Gulf of Mexico was morphologically identified as …
