Growth responses of planktonic desmid species in a temperature—light gradient

Abstract: 1. Isolates of twelve planktonic desmid species were tested for their growth response in batch culture, using an apparatus that generates crossed gradients of temperature and light intensity.2. Up to 15°C. growth was mainly temperature-limited. At higher temperatures, there was an increasing effect of light limitation. Optimal growth temperatures were in the range 25-30°C.3. Highest specific growth rates varied from 0.28 to 1.34 day"'. Species with lowest growth rates originated from oligo-mesotrophic hahitats… Show more

“…In addition to Zygnemaphyceae, some Bacillariophyceae species, such as Cymbella affinis and Gomphonema clevei, which were observed only in 2004, are also good indicators of low orthophosphate and total phosphorus concentrations (Winter and Duthie, 2000;Munn et al, 2002). Furthermore, Coesel and Wardenaar (1990), in experiments with Zygnemaphyceae, demonstrated greater growth under high temperatures, with optimal growth temperature in the range of 25-30 °C. According to PCA, water temperature during the samplings of 2004 was only low in June.…”

“…Cosmarium regnelli e Cosmarium blyttii foram altamente correlacionadas com o período chuvoso. Considerando as condições abióticas da água e a porcentagem de cobertura de macrófitas, o sucesso das desmídias foi muito provavelmente decorrente da capacidade de adaptação do grupo à baixa disponibilidade de luz (Coesel & Wardenaar 1990;Pillsbury & Lowe 1999). Experimentalmente, Fermino et al (2011) relatou no controle a alta densidade de desmídias na primavera e verão nos estádios sucessionais avançados no perifíton do Lago das Ninféias.…”

“…Coesel & Wardenaar (1990) found optima ranging from 25 to 30 "C, whereas hardly any growth was measured at temperatures lower than 10 "C. These optimum temperatures are higher than in most other phytoplankton groups (Reynolds, 1984). In this light it is not amazing that Hirano (1965) reported only 8 desmid species from the Antarctic continent, as against 68 species of diatoms, which, in general, show distinctly lower temperature optima (Reynolds, Zoc.…”
