The toxic benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Ostreopsis in temperate areas: a review Stefano Accoroni, Cecilia Totti Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2016; 7(1): 1-15 DOI: 10.4081/aiol.2016.5591 Key Points: Correct ID of Ostreopsis species in the field (distinguishing between them) is “highly problematic” requiring a comparison of precise anatomical measurements and experience comparing strains from […]

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 […]

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 […]

Effects of N and P availability on carbon allocation in the toxic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata Harmful Algae 55:202-212, May 2016 DOI: 10.1016/j.hal.2016.02.011 Laura Pezzolesia, Silvana Vanuccib, Carmela Dell’Aversanoc, Emma Dello Iacovoc, Luciana Tartaglionec, Rossella Pistocchi Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata are usually associated with shallow and calmcoastal waters, characterized by low nutrient […]
