  • Molecular Data and the Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Un
    Molecular data and the evolutionary history of dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg, 1993 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Botany We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2003 © Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria, 2003 ABSTRACT New sequences of ribosomal and protein genes were combined with available morphological and paleontological data to produce a phylogenetic framework for dinoflagellates. The evolutionary history of some of the major morphological features of the group was then investigated in the light of that framework. Phylogenetic trees of dinoflagellates based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) are generally poorly resolved but include many well- supported clades, and while combined analyses of SSU and LSU (large subunit ribosomal RNA) improve the support for several nodes, they are still generally unsatisfactory. Protein-gene based trees lack the degree of species representation necessary for meaningful in-group phylogenetic analyses, but do provide important insights to the phylogenetic position of dinoflagellates as a whole and on the identity of their close relatives. Molecular data agree with paleontology in suggesting an early evolutionary radiation of the group, but whereas paleontological data include only taxa with fossilizable cysts, the new data examined here establish that this radiation event included all dinokaryotic lineages, including athecate forms. Plastids were lost and replaced many times in dinoflagellates, a situation entirely unique for this group. Histones could well have been lost earlier in the lineage than previously assumed.

The genus Sarcocystis is the largest within the family Sarcocystidae and consists of species which infect a broad range of animals including mammals, birds and reptiles. Frenkelia, another genus within this family, consists of parasites that use rodents as intermediate hosts and birds of prey as de®nitive hosts. Both genera follow an almost identical pattern of life cycle, and their life cycle stages are morphologically very similar. How- ever, the relationship between the two genera remains unresolved because previous analyses of phenotypic characters and of small subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene sequences have questioned the validity of the genus Frenkelia or the monophyly of the genus Sarcocystis if Frenkelia was recognised as a valid genus. We therefore subjected the large subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene sequences of representative taxa in these genera to phylogenetic analyses to ascertain a de®nitive relationship between the two genera.

Here we applied massively parallel Illumina sequencing to assess genetic similarity and diversity among four phylogenetically diverse dinoflagellate clades (A, B, C and D) that are commonly associated with corals. We obtained more than 30 000 predicted genes for each Symbiodinium clade, with a majority of the aligned transcripts corresponding to sequence data sets of symbiotic dinoflagellates and o2% of sequences having bacterial or other foreign origin.

  • Growth and Grazing Rates of the Herbivorous Dinoflagellate Gymnodinium Sp
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published December 16 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Growth and grazing rates of the herbivorous dinoflagellate Gymnodinium sp. from the open subarctic Pacific Ocean Suzanne L. Strom' School of Oceanography WB-10, University of Washington. Seattle. Washington 98195, USA ABSTRACT: Growth, grazing and cell volume of the small heterotroph~cdinoflagellate Gyrnnodin~um sp. Isolated from the open subarctic Pacific Ocean were measured as a funct~onof food concentration using 2 phytoplankton food species. Growth and lngestlon rates increased asymptotically with Increas- ing phytoplankon food levels, as did grazer cell volume; rates at representative oceanic food levels were high but below maxima. Clearance rates decreased with lncreaslng food levels when Isochrysis galbana was the food source; they increased ~vithlncreaslng food levels when Synechococcus sp. was the food source. There was apparently a grazlng threshold for Ingestion of Synechococcus: below an initial Synechococcus concentration of 20 pgC 1.' ingestion rates on this alga were very low, while above this initial concentratlon Synechococcus was grazed preferent~ally Gross growth efficiency varied between 0.03 and 0.53 (mean 0.21) and was highest at low food concentrations. Results support the hypothesis that heterotrophic d~noflagellatesmay contribute to controlling population increases of small, rap~dly-grow~ngphytoplankton specles even at low oceanic phytoplankton concentrations.

  • Perkinsus Marinus Susceptibility and Defense-Related Activities in Eastern Oysters Crassostrea Virginica: Temperature Effects
    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Vol. 16: 223-234,1993 Published September 9 Dis. aquat. Org. Perkinsus marinus susceptibility and defense-related activities in eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica: temperature effects Fu-Lin E. Chu, Jerome F. La Peyre Virginia Institute of Marine Science, School of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA ABSTRACT. The relationship of potential defense-related cellular and humoral activities and the sus- ceptibility of eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica to the parasite Perkinsus marinus were examined at 10, 15, 20 and 25 "C. Oysters were acclimated at experimental temperatures for 20 d and then chal- lenged with R marinus. Total hemocyte counts (TC) and percentage of granulocytes (PG) 20 d after temperature acclimation were higher in oysters at high than at low acclimation temperature. Higher protein (P)and lysozyme (L) concentrations were found in oysters at 10 and 15 "C. No significant differ- ences in hemagglutination (H) titers due to temperature acclimation were observed. Infection preva- lence 46 d after challenge by R marinus was 100, 91, 46 and 23 % respectively, for oysters at 25, 20, 15 and 10 "C. Disease intensity increased with temperature. Oysters at higher temperatures had greater PG and TC and hemocyte phagocytic activity. No difference was found in TC and PG between control and challenged oysters within each temperature treatment. Bleeding may to some extent reduce TC and PG in oysters. P did not vary much among temperatures. No reduction of P in oysters was found due to P. marinuschallenge and infection. L tended to be higher in oysters at lower than at higher treat- ment temperatures.

Dinoflagellates are a major taxonomic group in marine phytoplankton communities in terms of diversity and biomass. Some species are also important because they form blooms and/or produce toxins that may cause diverse problems. The composition of planktonic dinoflagellates of the orders Prorocentrales and Dinophysiales, in the Veracruz Reef System, were obtained during the period of October 2006 to January 2007. For this, samples were taken from the surface at 10 stations with net of 30µm mesh, and were analyzed by light and scanning electron microscopy. Each species was described and illustrated, measured and their dis- tribution and ecological data is also given. A total of nine species were found and identified, belonging to four genera: Dinophysis was represented by three species; Prorocentrum by three, Phalacroma by two, and only one species of Ornithocercus was detected.

Abstract: Alexandrium minutum and Alexandrium tamutum are two closely related harmful algal bloom (HAB)-causing species with different toxicity. Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantita- tion (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomics and two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), a comprehensive characterization of the proteomes of A. minutum and A. tamutum was performed to identify the cellular and molecular underpinnings for the dissimilarity between these two species. A total of 1436 proteins and 420 protein spots were identified using iTRAQ-based proteomics and 2D-DIGE, respectively. Both methods revealed little difference (10–12%) between the proteomes of A. minutum and A. tamutum, highlighting that these organisms follow similar cellular and biological processes at the exponential stage. Toxin biosynthetic enzymes were present in both organisms. However, the gonyautoxin-producing A. minutum showed higher levels of osmotic growth proteins, Zn-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase and type-I polyketide synthase compared to the non-toxic A. tamutum. Further, A. tamutum had increased S-adenosylmethionine transferase that may potentially have a negative feedback mechanism to toxin biosynthesis.
