Community analysis of pigment patterns from 37 microalgae strains reveals new carotenoids and porphyrins characteristic of distinct strains and taxonomic groups
Phytoplankton, with an estimated 30 000 to 1 000 000 species clustered in 12 phyla, presents a high taxonomic and ecophysiological diversity, reflected by the complex distribution of pigments among the different algal classes. High performance liquid chromatography is the gold standard method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of phytoplankton pigments in seawater and culture samples, bu...

متن کاملPigment composition and photoacclimation as keys to the ecological success of Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyceae, Stramenopiles).
Aquatic habitats are usually structured by light attenuation with depth resulting in different microalgal communities, each one adapted to a certain light regime by their specific pigment composition. Several taxa contain pigments restricted to one phylogenetic group, making them useful as marker pigments in phytoplankton community studies. The nuisance and invasive freshwater microalga Gonyost...
متن کاملDetermination of algal biomass with HPLC pigment analysis from lakes of different trophic state in comparison to microscopically measured biomass
A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is presented with which a direct determination of the phytoplankton biomass is possible. By correlating over 100 samples investigated with HPLC as well as microscopically, it has been shown that phytoplankton biomass is described very accurately by determining the concentration of accessory pigments. In contrast to earlier studies, we made ...
متن کاملExamples of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) application in marine ecology studies in the northern Adriatic
Photosynthetic pigments have proved to be useful biomarkers of the abundance, composition and physiological status of the phytoplankton biomass in the marine environment. Using HPLC pigment analysis, we determined phytoplankton community structure in three different marine environments: in the area of a fish farm, in the area of sewage outlets, and in the mucilaginous aggregates. At the referen...
