| Short-term experiments were carried out to investigate whether interactions between ammonium (NH4+) and urea uptake regulate the total nitrogen assimilation of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella. To test for strain variability, 5 strains of A. catenella from the NW Mediterranean were used: 3 strains from the Thau lagoon (southern France) and 2 strains from the Catalonia basin (Spain). For each strain, the uptake rate of 1 nutrient (NH4+ or urea) at a reference concentration (10 mu gatN l(-1)) was measured as a function of the increasing concentration of the other nutrient (0 to 10 mu gatN l(-1)). Simultaneous N uptake rates of the distinct nitrogen sources were obtained from N-15-NH4+ and N-15-urea incorporation measurements. A strong... |
