Impact of tropical storms and drought on the dinoflagellates Karlodinium micrum and Prorocentrum minimum in estuarine rivers of North Carolina, USA
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: EE FensinThe dinoflagellates Karlodinium micrum and Prorocentrum minimum are harmful algal bloom taxa from different parts of the world. They are routinely documented in estuarine rivers in North Carolina, but there have been no known toxic outbreaks of these taxa in... -
Sneaking under the toxin surveillance radar: parasitism and sterol content
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: AR Place HR Harvey X Bai DW CoatsParasitic dinoflagellates of the genus Amoebophrya infect and kill bloom-forming dinoflagellates, including the toxic species Karlodinium micrum. Strains of K. micrum produce cytotoxic compounds (KmTX) that render cell membranes permeable to a range of small ions and molecules, resulting in... -
Spatio-temporal variation in density of microphytoplankton genera in two tropical coral reefs of Mauritius
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: SB Sadally --- Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Science, Mauritius N Taleb-Hossenkhan --- Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Science, Mauritius R Bhagooli --- Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Science, MauritiusSpatial and temporal (seasonal and interannual) variation in microphytoplankton was investigated at two tropical coral reef sites off Mauritius (Belle Mare [BM] and Flic-en-Flac [FEF]), from 2010 to 2012. Each site was divided into three zones: coast, lagoon and reef...
