Abstract
A dense perennial bloom of Raphidiopsis raciborskii was observed in an urban lake (29°53’13”S and 51°09’29.9”W). Due to supposed toxicity, this study analyzed the morphology of the species, evaluated the main factors that influence its growth, and examined bloom toxicity. Two sites were sampled monthly from November 2009 to November 2010. The species was found in all samples and dominated in 77% of the samples. Highest density was recorded at the end of summer (March – 199,550 ind.mL-1) at 26.6 oC and pH 7.8. High densities were also found at low temperatures (72,145 ind.mL-1 at 12.6 °C and 130,475 ind.mL-1 at 14.5 °C) and at minimum (5.4) and maximum (8.7) pH, reaching 89,964 ind.mL-1 and 61,400 ind.mL-1, respectively. Nitrogen availability was high, especially ammonium [(60-)140-660 μg.L-1], and phosphorus was low (orthophosphate < 10 μg.L-1). These results support that R. raciborskii has a wide tolerance to abiotic variations. Saxitoxins and gonyautoxins were found in the bloom
期刊介绍:
The Iheringia, Série Botânica is a publication edited by the Museu de Ciências Naturais, Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, since 1958. The name Iheringia is actually a tribute to Hermann von Ihering (a German researcher who became a Brazilian citizen) and his important studies in the Natural Sciences.The journal has the mission of publishing articles, reviews and original scientific notes that cover diverse areas in Botany, and may be written in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
The journal is widely available in both international and national scientific community. The issues are published and distributed twice a year to 118 national institutions and 152 international institutions. The distribution is either free of charge or by exchange.
