We examined effects of water temperature, salinity, irradiance, and different media on the growth of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense (HYM9704), which was isolated from Jinhae Bay, Korea. The ranges of temperature and salinity in which the s

유독성 와편모조류 Alexandrium tamarense 휴면시스트의 발아율을 여러 환경조건하에서 측정하여 각각의 환경요인과 휴면시스트의 발아율과의 관계를 밝히고자 하였다. 마산만에서 채집한 해저니로부터 휴면시스트를 분리하여 실험실 배양을 통해 온도, 광조건의 유무, 염분 그리고 저니층의 깊이에 따른 발아율을 각각 조사하였다. 온도별 발아율은 15℃에서 가장 높았으며 10℃에서도 높은 발아율이 기록된 반면, 20

The effects of irradiance on the growth of toxic dinoflagellates Alexandrium tamarense (Masan Bay strain) and Alexandrium catenella (Jinhae Bay strain) were investigated in the laboratory. At 15℃ and 30 psu for A. tamarense and 25℃ and 30 psu for A. catenella, the irradiance-growth curve showed the maximum growth rate (μmax) of 0.31 day-1 with half-saturation photon flux density (PFD) (KI) of 44.53 μmol m-2 s-1, and a compensation PFD (Ic) was 20.67 μmol m-2 s-1 for A. tamarense, and μmax of 0.38 day-1 with KI of 59.53 μmol m-2 s-1, and Ic was 40.80 μmol m-2 s-1 for A. catenella. The Ic equated to a depth of 8~9 m from March to June for A. tamarense and 6~7 m from March to June for A. catenella. These responses suggested that irradiance at the depth near the middle layer in Masan Bay would provide favorable conditions for two species.
