Effects of combined temperature and salinity on growth and fatty acid content of two Korean isolates of Akashiwo sanguinea (Dinophyceae).

ABSTRACT: Two Korean strains of Akashiwo sanguinea (LMBE-V203 and LMBE-V287) were established, and their morphologies and molecular phylogenies were examined. In addition, the effects of combined temperature and salinity on their growth and fatty acid contents were examined to evaluate the value as potential source for commercial application. Morphological observations indicated that there were no critical differences in the morphologies of both isolates, and molecular phylogeny based on LSU rRNA gene sequences revealed that the two isolates are nested within ribotype A of A. sanguinea. The two isolates exhibited different growth responses to combined temperature and salinity conditions, because of possibly the differences in sampling locations characterized by of different environmental conditions.
