Prorocentrum minimum

Information on active exudation of DMSP is limited. Laroche et al. (1999), using a modelling study, indicated that DMSP exudation in the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum is independent of growth phase at the level of 1 % of its DMSP quota per day. In contrast, they showed that Phaeocystis sp. exudation rates, measured as cumulative DMS concentration in... 

Measurements reflect data collected when the autotropic community was clearly dominated by a single functional group (e.g., diatoms) or a specifc bloom-forming organism (e.g., Prorocentrum minimum) as indicated by natural bloom in the Methods column. More recently, flow cytometry has been used as a means to separate sub-populations from istopic incubations ( FCM in Methods column).

It should be pointed out that the numerical density of microalgae species involved in bloom episodes in the intensive eutrophication period showed a noticeable decrease in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Therefore, mass species (Prorocentrum minimum, Eutreptia lanowii, Emiliania huxleyi,...
