Feeding and grazing impact by small marine heterotrophic dinoflagellates on heterotrophic bacteria.
We investigated the feeding of the small heterotrophic dinoflagellates (HTDs) Oxyrrhis marina, Gyrodinium cf. guttula, Gyrodinium sp., Pfiesteria piscicida, and Protoperidinium bipes on marine heterotrophic bacteria. To investigate whether they are able to feed on bacteria, we observed the protoplasm of target heterotrophic dinoflagellate cells under an epifluorescence microscope and transmissi...
متن کاملHeterotrophic Nanoflagellate, Paraphysomonas imperforata
Two different psychrophilic types of the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Paraphysomonas imperforata were isolated from Newfoundland coastal waters and the Arctic Ocean. When fed bacteria without food limitation, both isolates were able to grow at temperatures from -1.8 to 20°C, with maximum growth rates of 3.28 day-' at 15°C and 2.28 day-l at 12.3°C for the Newfoundland and the Arctic isolates, re...
متن کاملTrophic upgrading of autotrophic picoplankton by the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Paraphysomonas sp
We investigated whether trophic repackaging of autotrophic picoplankton by phagotrophic protists is associated with an improvement in food quality for the metazooplankton Daphnia magna (i.e., whether trophic upgrading occurs in this system). The nutritional value of the autotrophic species Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806, Synechococcus sp. strain BO8809, Synechococcus elongatus SAG 89.79, and Ch...
متن کاملFatty acid composition of the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Paraphysomonas sp. : influence of diet and de novo biosynthesis
We compared the relative importance of dietary factors versus de novo synthesis in determining the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition of the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Paraphysomonas sp. The flagellate was fed with different mutants of the picocyanobacterial strain Synechocystis PCC6803, which differ in their capability to synthesize specific PUFAs. The desA, desB, and desD genes o...
متن کاملFeeding by the Pfiesteria-like heterotrophic dinoflagellate Luciella masanensis.
To explore the feeding ecology of the Pfiesteria-like dinoflagellate (PLD) Luciella masanensis (GenBank Accession no. AM050344, previously Lucy), we investigated the feeding behavior and the kinds of prey species that L. masanensis fed on and determined its growth and ingestion rates of L. masanensis when it fed on the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae and an unidentified cryptophyte species ...
