Abstract:Many dinoflagellate species are bioluminescent, which is one of the anti-predation mechanisms in these species. In addition, dinoflagellate species experience a wide range of salinities in the ocean. However, the effects of salinity on their bioluminescence intensity has only been investigated for one species. Here, we explored the effect of salinity on the bioluminescence intensity of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans NSDJ2010 feeding on the chlorophyte Dunaliella salina, the heterotrophi… Show more
