Abstract

Dominance and survival strategy of toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense and A. catenella under the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) limited conditions were examined in the laboratory and field observations. In Masan Bay, DIN was limiting factor for growth of phytoplankton during spring to early summer when Alexandrium spp. have been observed. They have a disadvantageous position compared with diatoms because Ks of nitrate calculated from growth kinetics experiment of A. tamarense and A. catenella was higher than diatoms. However, A. tamarense and A. catenella were able to grow using dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) compounds such as urea and amino acids as well as DIN. Therefore, DON utilization of A. tamarense, A. catenella might contribute to not only their population growth but also dominance and interspecific competition in the DIN-limited conditions in Masan Bay.

실내실험과 현장관측을 통해서 용존태무기질소(dissolved inorganic nitrogen; DIN) 제한 하에서 유독와편모조류 Alexandrium tamarense와 A. catenella의 생존과 우점화 전략을 살펴보았다. 현장관측결과 마산만에서 Alexandrium 속이 출현하는 기간동안 DIN이 식물플랑크톤의 성장 제한영양염으로 나타났다. 성장동력학 실험으로부터 도출된 질산염의 Ks값은 현장에서 우점하는 규조류보다 A. tamarense와 A. catenella가 높아, 영양염 경쟁에 있어 불리한 위치에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 A. tamarense와 A. catenella는 DIN 제한하에서 요소나 아미노산과 같은 용존유기질소 (dissolved organic nitrogen; DON) 화합물을 성장에 이용하였다. 따라서 마산만과 같이 Alexandrium 속이 출현하는 봄~여름까지 DIN이 제한영양염으로 작용하는 환경에서 DON의 흡수능력은 이들 종이 성장을 유지하는데 큰 역할을 할 뿐만 아니라 종의 우점과정 및 종간 경쟁에서도 중요한 영향을 줄 것으로 보인다.
