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 20062 H<strong>on</strong>g K<strong>on</strong>g University, HONG KONG,ChinaProteomics, defined as the study ofproteins expressed by the wholegenome at the setting time andc<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, has been applied in thestudying of harmful algal bloom(HAB) research and has shown highpotential for identificati<strong>on</strong> ofspecies-specific proteins for speciesidentificati<strong>on</strong>; toxin biomarkers forstrain differentiati<strong>on</strong>; physiologicalindicator proteins to rapidly assessthe nutriti<strong>on</strong>al or metabolic status ofcausative agents of HAB forpredicti<strong>on</strong>, detecti<strong>on</strong>, m<strong>on</strong>itoring andverificati<strong>on</strong> of bloom events; and cellsurface associated proteins to studythe interacti<strong>on</strong> betweenphytoplankt<strong>on</strong> and theirenvir<strong>on</strong>ment as well as to separatespecies from mixed phytoplankt<strong>on</strong>populati<strong>on</strong>s. The paper will presenta review of the various techniqueswe applied; namely 2-DE, 2-DDIGE, MALDI TOF MS/MS, N-terminal sequencing andimmunoblotting; and the results wehave obtained in HAB studies.PO.16-02Distributi<strong>on</strong> of dinoflagellateresting cysts in surfacesediments from ChangjiangEstuary in the spring of 2004Sessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.16 – Life cyclesZH Wang, YZ Qi, YF YangJinan University, GUANGZHOU, ChinaSurface sediments were sampled inApril and May of 2004 fromsouthern Changjiang Estuary,where a large- scale Prorocentrumd<strong>on</strong>ghaiense red tide accompaniedby Alexandrium sp. occurred inearly May of 2004, in order to studycyst compositi<strong>on</strong> and distributi<strong>on</strong>before and during the red tide.Results showed <strong>on</strong>ly fewdifferences in cyst compositi<strong>on</strong>between the two surveys. Theaverage cyst c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s in Apriland May were 374 and 482 cystsper gram D.W. sediment,respectively. Cysts of Alexandriumoccurred comm<strong>on</strong>ly but in lownumbers, and the maximumc<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> during the bloom was219 cysts per gram D.W. sediment.High sand c<strong>on</strong>tent in sediments,high sedimentary rate, huge dilutedwater and complicated watercurrents, are thought to result in thelow cyst assemblages inChangjiang Estuary. Thedestinati<strong>on</strong> of the Alexandrium cystsformed after the bloom is discussedas.PO.06-10The interspecific competiti<strong>on</strong> oftwo HAB species: Prorocentrumd<strong>on</strong>ghaiense and AlexandriumtamarenseSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.06 - Populati<strong>on</strong> dynamicsZL Wang, RX Li, MY ZhuFirst Institute of Oceanography, SOA,QINGDAO, ChinaWe studied the populati<strong>on</strong> dynamicsand interspecific competiti<strong>on</strong> ofProrocentrum d<strong>on</strong>ghaiense andAlexandrium tamarense, twocomm<strong>on</strong> HAB species in East ChinaSea, by using semi-c<strong>on</strong>tinuousdiluti<strong>on</strong> experiments. Prorocentrumd<strong>on</strong>ghaiense was the winner at lowphosphate c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s, whichcompletely excluded Alexandriumtamarense. However, at highphosphate c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, thecompetiti<strong>on</strong> between the twospecies was different, and eithercaused exclusi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>on</strong>e species orcoexistence. The results also showthat the competiti<strong>on</strong> results depend<strong>on</strong> the cell densities which the two302
