INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF HARMFUL ALGAE12 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>Internati<strong>on</strong>al</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Harmful</strong> <strong>Algae</strong>, Copenhagen, Denmark, 4-8 September 2006nutriti<strong>on</strong> of M. rubra, a single ciliatespecies, encompasses 3 differentmodes such as photosynthesis,bacterivory, and algivory. Am<strong>on</strong>gthe metazoan predators of M. rubra,calanoid copepods, mysids, larvaeof ctenophores and anchovies, andspats of bivalves were reported.Feeding <strong>on</strong> M. rubra bykleptoplastidic dinoflagellates,Dinophysis spp. was suggested toexplain the cryptophyte origin of theDinophysis plastids (Janss<strong>on</strong> 2004).Here, M. rubra is to serve as ad<strong>on</strong>or of its kleptoplastid for thesec<strong>on</strong>dary kleptoplastidy byDinophysis spp. To c<strong>on</strong>clude, thetraditi<strong>on</strong>al ecological niche assignedto M. rubra in marine pelagicenvir<strong>on</strong>ment needs to berearranged because of the recentlyunveiling reality of the verycomplicated pelagic food websurrounding M. rubra.PO.05-32Paralytic shellfish pois<strong>on</strong>ing(PSP) toxins in Alexandriumcatenella and A. tamarenseisolated from southern coastaland offshore waters of KoreaSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.05 - Toxin analysisCH Kim, YS KimPuky<strong>on</strong>g Nati<strong>on</strong>al University, BUSAN,South KoreaThirty-two isolates of Alexandriumcatenella and A. tamarense fromthe southern coastal and offshorewaters and from the Yellow Sea inKorea were analyzed for PSPtoxins. All c<strong>on</strong>tained toxins in therange of 0.04-46.38 fmol/cell. Inseventeen coastal isolates, themajor toxins were C2, GTX1,4 andneoSTX, and the minor toxins wereC1 and GTX3. However, in fifteenoffshore isolates, the major toxinswere C2 and GTX4, and the minortoxins were C2, GTX1,3,5, andneoSTX. Am<strong>on</strong>g them, eightisolates c<strong>on</strong>tained GTX5, which wasnot detected in any coastal isolates.In additi<strong>on</strong>, there was a cleardifference in the proporti<strong>on</strong> ofcarbamate to N-sulfocarbamoyltoxins between coastal and offshoreisolates, which were 69:31 and44:56, respectively. The clusteranalysis based <strong>on</strong> toxin compositi<strong>on</strong>and c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> divided theKorean Alexandrium isolates intothree distinct groups, which wereclearly characterized by a higherproporti<strong>on</strong> of C2, neoSTX, andGTX4, respectively.PO.01-17Isolati<strong>on</strong> of preferentiallyexpressed gene betweendifferent mating type cells in thedinoflagellate AlexandriumtamarenseSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.01 - GeneticsA Kobiyama, K Koike, T OgataKitasato University, OFUNATO, JapanSexual reproducti<strong>on</strong> is an importantprocess in the life cycle ofAlexandrium tamarense. However,nothing is known about themolecular mechanism during sexualreproducti<strong>on</strong> although it is thoughtthat discriminati<strong>on</strong> at the molecularlevel between different mating typecells is important. In this study,subtractive PCR was used to isolatea gene, which is differentiallyexpressed in the different matingtype cells of A. tamarense. Afterthree rounds of subtractive PCRusing cDNAs synthesized frommRNA of different mating type cells,subtractive cDNA libraries werec<strong>on</strong>structed. One gene, AT4-3,showed a str<strong>on</strong>g mating typespecificsignal as the results fromcDNA membrane array and RNA205
