  2. 1. The role of allelopathy in microbial food webs

    Author : Astrid Weissbach; Catherine Legrand; Ellen Van Donk; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbial food web; Allelopathy; Alexandrium tamarense; Prymnesium parvum; Infochemicals; marine plankton community; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology;

    Abstract : Phytoplankton produce allelochemicals; excreted chemical substances that are affecting other microorganisms in their direct environment.In my thesis, I investigated strain specific variability in the expression of allelochemicals of the harmful flagellate Prymnesium parvum, that is euryhaline but mainly bloom forming in brackish water.

  4. 2. Sample preparation and analysis of metabolites from plants in the families of Cyperaceae, Poaceae and Apiaceae

    Author : Linus Svenberg; Åsa Emmer; Jenny Lindh; Margareta Sandahl; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gas chromatography; Mass spectrometry; Ultrasound assisted extraction; Solid-phase microextraction; Volatile compounds; Allelopathy; Bioassay; Gaskromatografi; Masspektrometri; Ultraljudsassisterad extraktion; fastfas-mikroextraktion; Flyktiga ämnen; Allelopati; Bioanalys; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : An important aspect of understanding how plants effect their environmentis the study of volatile compounds and how these influence interactions between plants and other living organisms. The study of these secondary metabolites from plants can be used in practical applications, such as behaviour control of insects, and is an important part in the search for novel compounds that can be used to influence the behaviour of disease spreading vectors.

  5. 3. Summer cyanobacterial blooms in the Baltic Sea - implications for copepod recruitment

    Author : Hedvig Hogfors; Sture Hansson; Wim Kimmerer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cyanobacteria; Calanoid copepods; Food web interactions; Harmful algae blooms; Zooplankton; Nodularin; Allelopathy; Baltic Sea; Biochemical markers; RNA-based indices; Acidification; Global Climate Change; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : During summer, the Baltic Sea is subjected to the world’s largest cyanobacterial blooms. These blooms are linked to eutrophication and raise many questions concerning their effects on the ecosystem. To understand their impacts on the food web dynamics, it is essential to assess growth responses of grazers to these cyanobacteria. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ecological implications of the production of toxic substances by fish killing phytoplankton species grown under variable N:P-ratios

    Author : Niclas Johansson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mixotrophy; grazing; allelopathic interactions; allelopathy; algae; phytoplankton; nutrient limitation; toxicity; Toxic haptophytes; fishkilling phytoplankton; Hydrobiology; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Abstract : The influence of different nutrient conditions on the production of toxins was studied in certain fishkilling haptophytes (e.g. Prymnesium parvum and Chrysochromulina polylepis). READ MORE

  7. 5. On the ecophysiology of Baltic cyanobacteria focusing on bottom-up factors

    Author : Malin Mohlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Allelopathy; Aphanizomenon sp.; Baltic Sea; Cyanobacteria; Diazotrophic; Multi-factorial; Nitrogen; Nodularin; photosynthetic active radiation; Phosphorus; ultraviolet radiation; UV-A; UV-B;

    Abstract : Cyanobacterial blooms in the Baltic Sea are dominated by diazotrophic cyanobacteria, i.e. Aphanizomenon sp. and Nodularia spumigena. READ MORE
