摘要

We conducted field and laboratory experiments to determine whether the Pseudo-nitzschia-derived metabolite, domoic acid (DA), functions as a microzooplankton grazing suppressant. Using the seawater dilution technique in natural plankton communities along the Pacific Northwest coast, we found no significant relationship between dissolved DA and microzooplankton grazing rate on Pseudo-nitzschia spp. Dilution experiments amended with either 50 or 80 nM dissolved DA also showed no evidence that microzooplankton community grazing was affected by DA. The relationship between Pseudo-nitzschia spp. intracellular DA and microzooplankton grazing was less clear. On a subset of data where small Pseudo-nitzschia spp. cells dominated community composition, an apparent negative relationship between intracellular DA and microzooplankton grazing was observed. However, we provide evidence that this relationship is a microzooplankton response to Pseudo-nitzschia spp. growth rate, rather than cellular DA. In laboratory experiments, two diatom-consuming dinoflagellates, Protoperidinium excentricum and P. pellucidum, were fed single and mixed diets of a toxic and non-toxic Pseudo-nitzschia species and an optimal prey, Ditylum brightwellii. P. excentricum did not grow or ingest either the toxic or non-toxic Pseudo-nitzschia. However, P. pellucidum grew as well on the toxic Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries as it did on D. brightwellii, but did not grow on the non-toxic Pseudo-nitzschia pungens. Both dinoflagellates were capable of growing if Pseudo-nitzschia spp. diets were mixed with D. brightwellii. Addition of dissolved DA also had no negative effect on dinoflagellate growth when fed the optimal diatom diet. We conclude that domoic acid has no functional role in deterring microzooplankton grazing or growth rates. Further, our findings highlight the difficulty of defining the complex mechanisms that regulate predator and prey interactions within microplankton food webs.

Brightwellii上一样好,但在无毒假单胞菌的刺上不生长。如果假奈瑟菌属,两个鞭毛虫都能够生长。饮食与D. Brightwellii混合。当饲喂最佳的硅藻饮食时,添加溶解的DA对鞭毛藻的生长也没有负面影响。我们得出的结论是,海藻酸在阻止微浮游动物的放牧或生长速度方面没有功能性作用。此外,我们的发现凸显了定义复杂的机制来调节微浮游生物食物网中捕食者与猎物相互作用的困难。
