  • Ecological significance of dinoflagellate bioluminescence

    Creator:
    Esaias, Wayne E.
    Abstract:
    The nature of the bioluminescence of Gonyaulax catenella is similar to that observed for other dinoflagellates in culture, showing photoperiod-entrained rhythms of luminescence and stimulability with relatively constant luminescent capacity during scotophase. G. catenella is very sensitive to stimulation and photoinbibition. The nature of the response to stimulation by bubbling...

  • Studies on the occurrence, physiology, and ecology of bioluminescence in dinoflagellates

    Creator:
    Esaias, Wayne E.
    Abstract:
    To provide further information on the occurrence and geographical variations of bioluminescent capabilities of marine dinoflagellates, forty species, representing twelve genera, of dinoflagellates from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, were examined for bioluminescence as single cell isolates. Seventeen species from the genera Ceratium (1 sp.), Gonyaulax (3 sp.), and Peridinium (13 sp.)...
