Effect of temperature, salinity and biofilm on the zoospores settlement of Enteromorpha flexuosa (Wulfen) J.Agardh
نویسنده
چکیده
Present study consists the, effect of temperature (10-30C), salinity (15-35 psu) and biofilm on the settlement of Enteromorpha flexousa zoospores. Settlement of zoospores was significantly (p<0.05) influenced by both temperature and salinity. Highest percentage of settlement occurred at 25C and 30 psu respectively. Subsequently the influence of biofilm was evaluated at the optimum 25C and 30 psu culture conditions. Among these, the glass cover slip substratum preconditioned with biofilm facilitated higher settlement. Highest spore settlement occurred in the first 30 minutes of incubation and further increase was gradual with time until it reached the optimum.

We investigated surface selection and adhesion of motile zoospores of a green, macrofouling alga (Enteromorpha) to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) having a range of wettabilities. The SAMs were formed from alkyl thiols terminated with methyl (CH(3)) or hydroxyl (OH) groups or mixtures of CH(3)- and OH-terminated alkyl thiols and were characterized by measuring the advancing contact angles and ...
