Temporal abundance patterns of the red tide dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans along the southeast coast of Australia
Noctiluca scintillans was seasonally abundant during the austral spring and summer with typical values of 16 cells l–1, but depleted in autumn and winter, with values of <1 cell l–1. Peaks in abundance of up to 79 cells l–1 were observed, at the same time or subsequent to diatom blooms which were caused by episodic uplifting events during the spring and summer. The diatom blooms were dominated ...
متن کاملPopulation growth and transport of the red tide dinoflagellate, Noctiluca scintillans, in the coastal waters off Sydney Australia, using cell diameter as a tracer
Spatial abundance patterns of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate, Noctiluca scintillans, were investigated along the southeast coast of Australia to address the hypothesis that population growth of Noctiluca is driven by anthropogenic eutrophication. Abundance patterns were related to the immediate physical flow field and not the conditions conducive to growth. Noctiluca cells were advected south...
متن کاملGreen Noctiluca scintillans: a dinoflagellate with its own greenhouse
The effect of irradiance on photosynthesis of the green form of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans was studied. Photosynthesis, measured in cells collected from the field and without the addition of prey, increased with irradiance to ca. 200 ng C cell–1 d–1 at an irradiance of ~250 to 300 μmol photons m–2 s–1. N. scintillans cells were observed to prey and grow actively on a number of dif...
متن کاملThe Nucleus of Noctiluca Scintillans
The unicellular organism, Noctiluca, has been examined with the electron microscope. The nucleus is small compared to the very large size of the cell, but the nuclear border has an organization which indicates an active nucleocytoplasmic exchange. Whereas annuli are missing over most parts of the nuclear membrane proper, there are "annulated vesicles" in a layer inside the nuclear membrane. The...
متن کاملthe effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)
cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
