A review on the effects of environmental conditions on growth and toxin production of Ostreopsis ovata

A review on the effects of environmental conditions on growth and toxin production of Ostreopsis ovata R. Pistocchi, L. Pezzolesi, F. Guerrini, S. Vanucci, C. Dell’Aversano, E. Fattorusso doi:10.1016/j.toxicon.2010.09.013 For the same strain, both nitrogen and phosphorus limitation determined a decrease in cell toxicity showing different behaviour with respect to many other toxic dinoflagellates. There’s […]

Physiological responses of Ostreopsis ovata to changes in N and P availability and temperature increase

Physiological responses of Ostreopsis ovata to changes in N and P availability and temperature increase Nayani K. Vidyarathna, Edna Granéli. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hal.2012.11.006 Results indicated that under nutrient sufficiency O. ovata biomass accumulation increased significantly compared to N and P deficiency and also that N limitation severely affected growth. The highest growth rates were recorded at 30 °C. […]

Phosphatase activities of a microepiphytic community during a bloom of Ostreopsis cf. ovata in the northern Adriatic Sea

Phosphatase activities of a microepiphytic community during a bloom of Ostreopsis cf. ovata in the northern Adriatic Sea Stefano Accoronia, Cecilia Tottia, Emanuela Razzaa, Roberta Congestrib, Alessandra Campanellic, Mauro Marinic, Neil Thomas William Ellwoodd https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2017.05.004 “Ostreopsis seems to have an adaptation that lets it thrive in P-poor environments where organic phosphate is the main source of P.” This is contrary […]
