2009 journal article

Axenic Culture of the Heterotrophic Dinoflagellate Pfiesteria shumwayae in a Semi-Defined Medium

JOURNAL OF EUKARYOTIC MICROBIOLOGY, 56(1), 73–82.

By: H. Skelton n, J. Burkholder n & M. Parrow *

author keywords: Biochemical requirements; cultivation; nutrition; phagotrophy; protist
MeSH headings : Animals; Culture Media / chemistry; Dinoflagellida / growth & development; Germ-Free Life; Parasitology / methods
TL;DR: A semi‐defined, biphasic culture medium was developed that supported the axenic growth of three strains of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Pfiesteria shumwayae, suggesting that phagocytosis may be required for growth in axenic culture. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 journal article

Grazing by Karenia brevis on Synechococcus enhances its growth rate and may help to sustain blooms

AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY, 55(1), 17–30.

By: P. Glibert *, J. Burkholder n, T. Kana*, J. Alexander*, H. Skelton n & C. Shilling*

author keywords: Karenia brevis; Synechococcus; Mixotrophy; Grazing rate; Irradiance; Nitrogen source; Harmful algal bloom; Red tide
TL;DR: Grazing by K. brevis enhances the range of nutritional substrates available to meet its growth requirements, and may play a substantial role in sustaining natural populations in inorganic N-poor waters. (via Semantic Scholar)

2008 journal article

AXENIC CULTIVATION OF THE HETEROTROPHIC DINOFLAGELLATE PFIESTERIA SHUMWAYAE AND OBSERVATIONS ON FEEDING BEHAVIOR

JOURNAL OF PHYCOLOGY, 44(6), 1614–1624.

By: H. Skelton n, J. Burkholder n & M. Parrow*

author keywords: axenic culture; dinoflagellate; heterotrophic; Pfiesteria; phagotrophy
TL;DR: An undefined, biphasic culture medium was formulated that supported the axenic growth of two of three strains of P. shumwayae and allowed detailed observations of feeding behavior. (via Semantic Scholar)

2008 review

Mixotrophy, a major mode of nutrition for harmful algal species in eutrophic waters

[Review of ]. HARMFUL ALGAE, 8(1), 77–93.

By: J. Burkholder n, P. Glibert * & H. Skelton n

author keywords: Eutrophication; Harmful algae; Mixotrophy; Nutrients; Osmatrophy; Phagotrophy; Phototroph
TL;DR: An alternate premise is examined, that many harmful algae which thrive in eutrophic habitats are mixotrophs that respond both directly to nutrient inputs, and indirectly through high abundance of bacterial and algal prey that are stimulated by the elevated nutrients. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Phosphatase activity in the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Pfiesteria shumwayae

HARMFUL ALGAE, 5(4), 395–406.

By: H. Skelton n, M. Parrow n & J. Burkholder n

author keywords: acid phosphatase; alkaline phosphatase; dinoflagellate; ELF-97; heterotroph; Pfiesteria shumwayae
TL;DR: The location of enzyme activity and supporting colorimetric measurements suggest that, as in other heterotrophic protists, acid phosphatases predominate in P. shumwayae and have a general catabolic function. (via Semantic Scholar)
