Release and consumption of DMSP from Emiliania huxleyi during grazing b y Oxyrrhis marina
Degradation and release to solution of intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) from Emiliania huxleyi 370 was observed during grazing by the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina in 24 h bottle incubations. Between 30 and 70 % of the lost algal DMSP was metabolized by the grazers without production of dimethylsulfide (DMS) when grazer densities were 150 to 450 m l ' The rest was ...
متن کاملPreferential grazing of Oxyrrhis marina on virus-infected Emiliania huxleyi
We examined whether virus infection of Emiliania huxleyi with the lytic E. huxleyi-specific virus, EhV-86, influenced it’s palatability to the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina. E. huxleyi mortality was assessed by comparing changes in the algae’s concentration between four different incubations: (1) Grazer O. marina plus an equal concentration of infected and healthy E. huxleyi prey...
متن کاملInherent optical properties of the coccolithophore: Emiliania huxleyi.
A realistic nonspherical model for Emiliania huxleyi (EHUX) is built, based on electron micrographs of coccolithophore cells. The Inherent Optical Properties (IOP) of the EHUX are then calculated numerically by using the discrete dipole approximation. The coccolithophore model includes a near-spherical core with the refractive index of 1.04 + m(i)j, and a carbonate shell formed by smaller cocco...
متن کاملOn the allelochemical potency of the marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii against heterotrophic and autotrophic protists
Three strains of the marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii of different geographic origin were tested for their short-term deleterious effects on a diversity of marine protists. All A. ostenfeldii strains were capable of eliciting an apparent allelochemical response, but the various protistan target species were differentially affected. Protists that were negatively affected by exposure...
متن کاملPhenotypic Variability in the Coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi
Coccolithophores are a vital part of oceanic phytoplankton assemblages that produce organic matter and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) containing traces of other elements (i.e. Sr and Mg). Their associated carbon export from the euphotic zone to the oceans' interior plays a crucial role in CO2 feedback mechanisms and biogeochemical cycles. The coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi has been widely studied...
