As most chloroplast-bearing dinoflagellates are also capable of mixotrophic nutrition via phagotrophy (Du Yoo et al. 2009), these were considered to be potential grazers with more or less marked phagotrophic capabilities. The identification of dinoflagellates was primarily based on Dodge (1982), ...
* E-mail: k.s.jakobsen@bio.uio.no Introduction Approximately 2000 species of living dinoflagellates are known, most of which are found in marine habitats [1]. Species vary widely, in characteristics such as cell morphology and modes of nutrition (e.g., autotrophy, heterotroph...
All of the three members utilize non- carbohydrate sources of carbon for growth (see below). The genus Methylophaga belonging to the γ-subclass of Proteobacteria is a unique methylotrophic group, which consumes one-carbon (C1) compounds of a more reduced form than that of CO2 as a sole ...
they play a tremendous role in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling of elements. Moreover, dinoflagellates are well known for the ability of many species to form harmful algal blooms and produce potent
Exemplary of such pharmaceutical products is one suitable for use in providing total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to infants or adults. Additionally, dietary supplements containing the single cell oil are encompassed. Preferably, such supplements are in the form of gelatin capsules encapsulating said oil...
In addition to nutrition, temperature, wind, and light were also investigated and are considered influential in pioneer blooms. However, all these traditional factors are contradictory and were regionally restricted in some marine surveys. Although the scale of dinoflagellates expands with increasing nitro...
Although coral polyps can catch prey using their cnidocytes, they obtain most of their nutrition from algae, called ___, that live symbiotically with the polyps. Parasitic alveolates that form spores at some stage in their lives belong to which group? a) actin...
The Port of Annaba is the 4th busiest port of Algeria. The main goods transiting out are dry bulk goods, such as fertilizers in the form of phosphate, ammonia and NPK (complex fertilizer nitrogen phosphate and potassium). The number of visits (arrivals and exits) for the port of Annaba ha...
