Reactive oxygen species are linked to the toxicity of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium spp. to protists

Abstract

Data include the survival response of the ciliate, Tiarina fusus, and the heterotrophic dinoflagellate, Polykrikos kofoidii, to three strains in the Alexandrium tamarense species complex.

Independent variable: protists (Tiarina fusus and Polykrikos kofoidii), 3 strains in the Alexandrium with a different paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) content (High, Low, No PST), and cell densities of each dinoflagellate isolate (cells per milliliter)

Dependent variables: survived protist (number per well) and protist survival (%)

Data were published in: Flores, H. S., Wikfors, G. H., & Dam, H. G. (2012). Reactive oxygen species are linked to the toxicity of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium spp. to protists. Aquatic microbial ecology, 66(2), 199-209. https://doi.org/10.3354/ame01570
