Expanding known dinoflagellate distributions: investigations of slurry cultures from Caspian Sea sediment
Keyword(s):
AbstractTo investigate the disparity between plankton and cyst records, sediment slurry cultures were used to isolate the motile stage of dinoflagellates from Caspian Sea sediment. This has resulted in new records for this area ofKryptoperidinium foliaceum,Gymnodinium aureolumandWoloszynskiasp. and for the cyst record,Scrippsiella acuminata. TwoGonyaulaxspecies were isolated, one was identified asGonyaulax balticaand the other an unknown species. Cultures ofLingulodinium polyedrawere also isolated. The approach of using slurries was useful to provide cultures from sediments that were relatively poor in dinoflagellate cysts with contents.
