Toxicity of Dinophysis Spp. in Relation to Population Density And Harmful Algae 6 (2007) 218–231 www.elsevier.com/locate/hal Toxicity of Dinophysis spp. in relation to population density and environmental conditions on the Swedish west coast Odd Lindahl *, Bengt Lundve, Marie Johansen The Royal Swedish Society of Sciences, Kristineberg Marine Research Station, SE 450 34 Fiskeba¨ckskil, Sweden Received 29 April 2006; received in revised form 14 May 2006; accepted 28 August 2006 Abstract The aim of this study in the field was to investigate whether there are differences between the outer archipelago (Gullmar Fjord) and a semi-enclosed fjord system (Koljo¨ Fjord) in occurrences of D. acuta and D. acuminata as well as in their content of diarrheic shellfish toxin (DST) per cell. When all data pairs of cell toxicity of D. acuminata and the corresponding number of cells lÀ1 from the two sites were tested in a regression analysis, a statistically significant negative correlation became evident and was apparent as a straight line on a log–log plot ( p < 0.0001). Obviously, there was an overall inverse relationship between the population density of D. acuminata and the toxin content per cell. Plotted on a linear scale, all data-pairs of cell toxicity and cell number made up a parabolic curve. On this curve the data-pairs could be separated into three groups: (i) D. acuminata occurring in numbers of fewer than approximately 100 cells lÀ1, and with a toxin content per cell above 5 rg cellÀ1; (ii) cell numbers between 100 and approximately 250 cells lÀ1 with a cell toxin content from 5 to 2 rg cellÀ1; (iii) when the population became greater than 250 cells lÀ1, the toxicity, with few exceptions, was less than 2 rg cellÀ1. By applying this subdivision, some clear patterns of the distribution of the differently toxic D. acuminata became evident. When comparing the cell toxicity of the two sites, it was obvious that the D. acuminata cells from all depths from the Gullmar Fjord as a mean were significantly more toxic compared to the Koljo¨ Fjord samples. The results have demonstrated that approximately 100 high-toxicity cells in a low-density population at surface may lead to the same accumulation of DST in a mussel as the ingestion of 1500 low-toxicity cells from a high-density pycnocline population. # 2006 Elsevier B.V.

A cell cycle study was carried out over a 22 h period on 9 and 10 November to describe the physiological status and the short-term variability in cell toxin quota of D. acuta at the time of the annual maximum of lipophilic toxins in shellfish. At that time, the population of D. acuta showed an extremely low division rate (μ = 0.03 d–1), a high frequency of dead cells (up to 15%) and cells with starch granules (up to 93%), and no evidence of recent mixotrophic behaviour. Still, the cells, which did not perform vertical migration, aggregated around salinity-driven density discontinuities in the top 5 m and had a high cell toxin quota (deter- mined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) for this species. A 3.5-fold difference was found between maximum (during the night) and minimum values of cell toxin quota.

Dinoflagellate infections have been reported for different protistan and animal hosts. We report, for the first time, the association between a dinoflagellate parasite and a rotifer host, tentatively Synchaeta sp. (Rotifera), collected from the port of Valencia, NW Mediterranean Sea. The rotifer contained a sporangium with 100–200 thecate dinospores that develop synchronically through palintomic sporogenesis. This undescribed dinoflagellate forms a new and divergent fast-evolved lineage that branches amongthe dinokaryotic dinoflagellates. 1. Introduction form independent lineages with no evident relation to other dinoflagellates [12].

In the German Bight (North Sea) around the island of Helgoland, 4 toxic Dinophysis species occur, of which 2 exhibited successive biomass maxima in summer 2000 (D. norvegica Claparède et Lachmann 1859 with cell concentrations of max. 400 cell l–1 and D. acumi- nata Claparède et Lachmann 1859 with max. cell concentrations of over 4000 cells l–1). In contrast to findings in other marine areas, toxicity of Mytilus edulis Linné 1758 could be clearly attributed to the observed increases in cell abundances of both species. In several Mytilus samples toxin concentra- tions (max. 460 ng diarrhetic shellfish poisoning [DSP] toxins g–1 hepatopancreas) were in a range which is considered dangerous for human consumption. While mussel toxicity coincided with concentration increases of both Dinophysis species, toxicity of the particulate substance in the water (max. 26 ng l–1) could be detected only during cell concentration maxima of D.

All major protistan lineages were involved in interactions as hosts, symbionts (mutualists and commensalists), parasites, predators, and/or prey. Predation was the most common interaction (39% of all records), followed by symbiosis (29%), parasitism (18%), and ‘unresolved interactions’ fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: (14%, where it is uncertain whether the interaction is bene cial or antagonistic). Using bipartite networks, we found that protist predators seem to be ‘multivorous’ while parasite–host and symbiont–host interactions appear to have moderate degrees of specialization. The SAR supergroup (i.e., Stramenopiles, Alveolata, and Rhizaria) heavily dominated PIDA, and comparisons against a global-ocean molecular survey (TARA Oceans) indicated that several SAR lineages, which are abundant and diverse in the marine realm, were underrepresented among the recorded interactions.

  • Biotechnological Significance of Toxic Marine Dinoflagellates ⁎ F
    Biotechnology Advances 25 (2007) 176–194 www.elsevier.com/locate/biotechadv Research review paper Biotechnological significance of toxic marine dinoflagellates ⁎ F. Garcia Camacho a, , J. Gallardo Rodríguez a, A. Sánchez Mirón a, M.C. Cerón García a, E.H. Belarbi a, Y. Chisti b, E. Molina Grima a aDepartment of Chemical Engineering, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain b Institute of Technology and Engineering, Massey University, Private Bag 11 222, Palmerston North, New Zealand Received 2 February 2006; accepted 28 November 2006 Available online 30 November 2006 Abstract Dinoflagellates are microalgae that are associated with the production of many marine toxins. These toxins poison fish, other wildlife and humans. Dinoflagellate-associated human poisonings include paralytic shellfish poisoning, diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, and ciguatera fish poisoning. Dinoflagellate toxins and bioactives are of increasing interest because of their commercial impact, influence on safety of seafood, and potential medical and other applications. This review discusses biotechnological methods of identifying toxic dinoflagellates and detecting their toxins. Potential applications of the toxins are discussed. A lack of sufficient quantities of toxins for investigational purposes remains a significant limitation. Producing quantities of dinoflagellate bioactives requires an ability to mass culture them. Considerations relating to bioreactor culture of generally fragile and slow-growing dinoflagellates are discussed. Production and processing of dinoflagellates to extract bioactives, require attention to biosafety considerations as outlined in this review. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
