Rhodomonas salina is a phototrophic marine flagellate. We examined the ultrastructure of R. salina with particular attention to the flagellar apparatus by transmission electron microscopy and compared it with that of other cryptomonads reported previously. The major components of the flagellar apparatus in R. salina were a keeled rhizostyle (Rhs), a striated fibrous root(SR), a SR-associated microtubular root (SRm), a mitochondrion-associated lamella (ML), and three types of microtubular roots (9r, 4r, and 2r). The keeled Rhs originated near the proximal end of the dorsal basal body, passed near the nucleus and dissociated at the posterior end of the cell. The SR and SRm originated between two basal bodies and laterally extended to the right side of the cell. The ML originated between two basal bodies and extended to the left side of the cell. The 9r originated between the ventral basal body and the Rhs and extended toward the anterior dorsal lobe of the cell. The 4r originated near the 9r and extended toward the dorsal lobe with the 2r, which originated between two basal bodies. Here, the flagellar apparatus in R. salina is described, and the ultrastructure of the flagellar apparatus is compared among cryptomonad species.

Protein profiles of a common mixotrophic dinoflagellate, Prorocentrum micans, growing autotrophically and mixotrophically (fed on the cryptophyte Rhodomonas salina) were compared using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) to determine if they vary in different trophic modes. Approximately 2.3% of the detected proteins were differentially expressed in the different trophic modes. Twelve proteins observed only in the mixotrophic condition had lower pI value (<5) than the fifteen proteins observed only in the autotrophic condition (>5). When the internal amino acid sequences of five selected proteins differentially expressed between autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions were analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, two proteins that were specifically expressed in the autotrophic condition showed homology to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatase dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and a bacterial catalase. Three mixotrophy-specific proteins showed homology to certain hypothetical proteins from an insect and bacteria. These results suggested the presence of certain gene groups that are switched on and off according to the trophic mode of P. micans.

To understand growth characteristics of eight dominant red tide species ($Prorocentrum$ $minimum$, $Heterocapsa$ $triquetra$, $Scrippsiella$ $trochoidea$, $Akashiwo$ $sanguinea$, $Chattonella$ $marina$, $Heterosigma$ $akashiwo$, $Amphidinium$ $carterae$ and $Rhodomonas$ $salina$) in the Korean coastal water, the growth rates were examined in relation with the impacts of water temperature and bio-volume. Of these, $P.$ $minimum$, $C.$ $marina$, $H.$ $akashiwo$, $A.$ $carterae$ and $R.$ $salina$ were eurythermal species with relatively high growth rates in a borad ranges (15 to $25^{\circ}C$) of water temperature. On the other hand, the growth rate of $H.$ $triquetra$, $S.$ $trochoidea$ and $A.$ $sanguinea$ were high in relatively mid temperature (optimum: $25^{\circ}C$) condition. In particular, $H.$ $triquetra$ was well adapted in low temperature of 5 to $15^{\circ}C$, implying that the species can survive and grows even at very low temperature. Based on results of our experiment, the growth characterestics of five eurythermal species and three mid temperature species may have dominated in Korean coastal water during summer season and fall season, respectively. Contrastively, the growth characteristics of $H.$ $triquetra$ make a consistently dominant during the cold winter season. In addition, the growth rates of large bio-volume species were lower than those of small bio-volume species, indicates that growth of single cells of several flagellates might be depended on the cells sizes.

유해 유독 적조생물의 대발생은 해양생물 건강성과 수산어족자원에 심각한 피해를 입힌다. 본 연구에서는 미세조류의 대발생을 억제하기 위해 개발된 Thiazolidione 유도체(TD49)와 현장에서 적조생물을 제어하기 위하여 살포되는 황토에 대한 살조능을 조사하였다. 아울러 적조생물 생사판별과 관련된 자가영양생물의 광합성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 활성엽록소(activity Chl. a), 광합성효율($F_v/F_m$), 전자 전달율(electron transport rate, ETR)등을 평가하였다. 대상적조생물은 유해조류 3종과 비유해 조류 1종을 선택하였으며, 유해조류는 침편모조류 Heterosigma akashiwo, Chattonella marina와 더불어 와편모조류 Heterocapsa circularisquama를 비교하였고, 비유해조류는 은편모조류 Rhodomonas salina에 대하여 평가하였다. 유해조류 3종은 살조물질(TD49)에 의하여 빠른 시간에 세포가 파괴되어 우수한 살조 효과(>80%)를 보인 반면, 황토에 관해서는 살조효율이 30%이하로 낮게 나타났다. 또한 TD49에 대한 유해조류 3종의 살조효율은 H. circularisquama> C. marina> H. akashiwo 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 광합성 효율 및 전자전달율 또한 극히 낮게 나타나, 광합성에 치명적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료되었다. 반면, 유해조류 3종에 관해서 황토에 대한 광합성 효율과 전자전달율은 대조군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.01). 비유해종 R. salina 은 대조군에 비하여 TD49와 황토의 살조 효과, 광합성효율 및 전자전달율의 차이는 명확하게 나타나지 않았고, 오히려 TD49물질에서 성장에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 TD49물질은 유해적조 생물을 선택적으로 제어 할 수 있으며, 현장 적용시 우수한 살조 효과를 가질 수 있을 것으로 판단된 반면, 황토는 적조생물 제어에 적합하지 않을 것으로 사료되었다.

To explore the feeding ecology of the newly described heterotrophic dinoflagellate Aduncodinium glandula in the family Pfiesteriaceae, its feeding behavior and prey species were investigated. Additionally, the growth and ingestion rates of A. glandula on the mixotrophic dinoflagellates Heterocapsa triquetra and Akashiwo sanguinea, its optimal and suboptimal prey, respectively were measured. A. glandula fed on prey through a peduncle after anchoring to the prey using a tow filament. A. glandula ate all algal prey and perch blood cells tested and had the most diverse prey species in the family Pfiesteriaceae. Unlike for other pfiesteriacean species, H. triquetra and A. sanguinea support the positive growth of A. glandula. However, the cryptophytes Rhodomonas salina and Teleaulax sp. and the phototrophic dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae did not support the positive growth of A. glandula. Thus, A. glandula may have a unique kind of prey and its optimal prey differs from that of the other pfiesteriacean dinoflagellates. With increasing mean prey concentration, the growth rates of A. glandula on H. triquetra and A. sanguinea increased rapidly and then slowed or became saturated. The maximum growth rates when feeding on H. triquetra and A. sanguinea were 1.004 and 0.567 d⁻¹, respectively. Further, the maximum ingestion rates of A. glandula on H. triquetra and A. sanguinea were 0.75 and 1.38 ng C predator⁻¹ d⁻¹, respectively. There is no other pfiesteriacean species having H. triquetra and A. sanguinea as optimal and suboptimal prey. Thus, A. glandula may be abundant during blooms dominated by these species not preferred by the other pfiesteriacean dinoflagellates.
