A Molecular and Co-Evolutionary Context for Grazer Induced Toxin Production in Alexandrium tamarense
Marine dinoflagellates of the genus Alexandrium are the proximal source of neurotoxins associated with Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning. The production of these toxins, the toxin biosynthesis and, thus, the cellular toxicity can be influenced by abiotic and biotic factors. There is, however, a lack of substantial evidence concerning the toxins' ecological function such as grazing defense. Waterbor...
متن کاملEffects of nitrate and phosphate on grazer-induced toxin production in Alexandrium minutum
Two strains of Alexandrium minutum were exposed to waterborne cues from copepod grazers in factorial combinations of nitrate and phosphate concentrations to evaluate the importance of grazer-induced paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) production under different nutrient regimes. In nitrate-rich treatments, the presence of waterborne cues from grazers resulted in significantly increased cell-specifi...
متن کاملGrowth and toxin production in batch cultures of a marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense HK9301 isolated from the South China Sea
Nutritional and environmental conditions were characterized for a batch culture of the marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense HK9301 isolated from the South China Sea for its growth (cells ml ), cellular toxin content (Qt in fmol cell ) and toxin composition (mol%). Under a nutrient replete condition, Qt increased with cell growth and peaked at the late stationary phase. Toxin content incr...
متن کاملImpact of elevated pCO₂ on paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin content and composition in Alexandrium tamarense.
Ocean acidification is considered a major threat to marine ecosystems and may particularly affect primary producers. Here we investigated the impact of elevated pCO₂ on paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin (PST) content and composition in two strains of Alexandrium tamarense, Alex5 and Alex2. Experiments were carried out as dilute batch to keep carbonate chemistry unaltered over time. We observe...
متن کاملmolecular and physiological characterizations of floral scent production in rosa damascena mill.
گل محمدی (r. damascena mill.)مهمترین گونه ای است که در تولید گلاب، عطر و اسانس، در صنعت عطرسازی و دارویی کاربرد دارد. با وجود اهمیت عطر گل محمدی، پژوهش های مولکولی و بیوشیمیایی عطر گل این گونه هنوز در مراحل ابتدایی است. در این پژوهش، ویژگی های مولکولی و فیزیولوژیکی تولید عطر در گل محمدی در آزمایش های مختلف مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. در آزمایش اول، پژوهشی به منظور بررسی تنوع شیمیایی اسانس میان 44 ت...
