Abstract The cryptophyte Rhodomonas sp . is a potential feed source for aquaculture live and resource phycoerythrin (PE) production. This research investigates the influence of light, both quality quantity, on biomass productivity, composition growth rate sp. incident light intensity used in experiments was 50 ?mol photons m ?2 s ?1 , irrespective colour cultivation took place lab-scale flat-pa...

Exploring mixotrophy of dinoflagellate species is critical to understanding red-tide dynamics and evolution. Some in the genus Karenia have caused harmful algal blooms. Among 10 species, mixotrophic ability only two mikimotoi brevis, has been investigated. These revealed be mixotrophic; however, other should explored. Moreover, although K. was previously known mixotrophic, a few potential prey ...

We investigated long-term variations in the dominant phytoplankton groups with improvements water quality over 11 years Yeongil Bay on southeastern coast of Korea. River discharge declined during study period but TN from river remained stable, indicating input enriched nutrients to bay was fairly consistent. NH 4 + levels decreased a decrease POSCO industrial complex. While region characterized...

Starch in synchronously grown Guillardia theta cells accumulates throughout the light phase, followed by a linear degradation during the night. In contrast to the case for other unicellular algae such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, no starch turnover occurred in this organism under continuous light. The gene encoding granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS1), the enzyme responsible for amylose synth...
