Co2 and phosphate availability control the toxicity of the harmful bloom dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum. (2010, background): “Nontoxic strains are incapable of enhancing their growth potential through feeding when prey like cryptophytes are available (Adolf et al. 2008).”
Harmful algal blooms and eutrophication: Examining linkages from selected coastal regions of the United States (2008, background): “Mixotrophy through consumption of algal prey that are directly stimulated by eutrophication also contributes to K. veneficum nutrition and supports faster growth rates (Adolf et al., 2006, 2008).”
Pluses and minuses of ammonium and nitrate uptake and assimilation by phytoplankton and implications for productivity and community composition, with emphasis on nitrogen‐enriched conditions (2016, background): “It is known that many phototrophic dinoflagellates, such as Karlodinium veneficum, only make toxin—and only eat—during the light period (Adolf et al. 2008), and thus toxin production must be linked to photosynthesis, but the exact mechanism is not known.”
Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, background): “For example, the abundance of cryptophytes can stimulate mixotrophic growth (Adolf et al., 2008), and the activity of these organisms can lead to an upgrading of seston food quality by altering its stoichiometric content (Ptacnik et al., 2004).”
