Diel vertical migration thresholds of Karenia brevis (Dinophyceae)

Schaeffer, B. A., Kamykowski, D., Sinclair, G., McKay, L., & Milligan, E. J. (2009, February 22). Harmful Algae.

By: B. Schaeffer *, D. Kamykowski n, G. Sinclair*, L. McKay n & E. Milligan n

author keywords: Carbon; Diel vertical migration; Dinoflagellate; Karenia brevis; Nitrogen
topics (OpenAlex): Marine and coastal ecosystems; Marine Toxins and Detection Methods; Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology
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.

2009 article

LIPID CLASS, CAROTENOID, AND TOXIN DYNAMICS OF KARENIA BREVIS (DINOPHYCEAE) DURING DIEL VERTICAL MIGRATION1

Schaeffer, B. A., Kamykowski, D., McKay, L., Sinclair, G., & Milligan, E. (2009, February 1). Journal of Phycology.

By: B. Schaeffer n, D. Kamykowski n, L. McKay n, G. Sinclair n & E. Milligan n

author keywords: behavior; brevetoxins; dinoflagellate; epoxidation state; lipids
topics (OpenAlex): Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms; Biocrusts and Microbial Ecology; Algal biology and biofuel production
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)

2007 article

A COMPARISON OF PHOTORESPONSE AMONG TEN DIFFERENT KARENIA BREVIS (DINOPHYCEAE) ISOLATES1

Schaeffer, B. A., Kamykowski, D., McKay, L., Sinclair, G., & Milligan, E. J. (2007, July 30). Journal of Phycology.

By: B. Schaeffer n, D. Kamykowski n, L. McKay n, G. Sinclair n & E. Milligan n

author keywords: carbon; cell division rate; culture; dinoflagellate; F-v/F-m; Karenia brevis; P-E curve; photoinhibition
topics (OpenAlex): Marine and coastal ecosystems; Marine Toxins and Detection Methods; Isotope Analysis in Ecology
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)
