Abstract
- While the initiation and development of dense bloom of Cochlodinium polykrikoides have been shown to be related to some environmental factors, little is known about the ecological role of the formation and germination of temporary cysts, nor of their significance for the rapid expansion of dense regional-scale blooms. This study examined the factors affecting the formation and germination of temporary cysts of C. polykrikoides, and provides details about the germination process. In the laboratory experiments, C. polykrikoides produced the chain-forming temporary cysts that are immobile and surrounded by a hyaline membrane. The encystment experiment indicated that darkness induces the formation of chain forming temporary cysts, consistent with field observation of morphology and fluxes of temporary cysts. Germination occurred twice from a single four-celled temporary cysts within 24 h after exposure to light, and the germlings appeared as two-celled chain-forming vegetative cells. The germination behavior of temporary cysts of C. polykrikoides differs from that of other dinoflagellates, and this may be a survival strategy for the maintenance of population size during dense blooms.
