TL;DR: It was concluded that daughter cells resulting from cell division received unequal shares of the parental resources and that this inequality influenced migration behavior, and Nutrient reduced daughter cells were more strongly influenced by light and phototaxis for carbon production than their replete same cell division sister cells during vertical migration thus rapidly increasing the fulfillment of constituents through photosynthesis.

author keywords: behavior; brevetoxins; dinoflagellate; epoxidation state; lipids

TL;DR: K. brevis may mobilize its toxins into the surrounding environment by reducing lipid concentrations, such as sterols, limiting competition, or toxins are released because lipids are decreased in high light, reducing any protective mechanism against their own toxins. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: carbon; cell division rate; culture; dinoflagellate; F-v/F-m; Karenia brevis; P-E curve; photoinhibition

TL;DR: PAM‐FL techniques used to investigate P–E curves, quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), and chl from 10 K showed that K. brevis was more than capable of utilizing and surviving in light conditions that may be present on cloudless days off Florida. (via Semantic Scholar)
