As a model, we brought into stable laboratory culture a pairing between the bloom-forming diatom Asterionella formosa and a pathogenic chytrid identified as Rhizophydium planktonicum, isolated from Pavin Lake, France. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. Why is the relative abundance of Asterionella formosa increasing in a Boreal Shield lake as nutrient levels decline?. The following relationships have been collated from the published literature (see 'References'). IFCB images References are given in chronological order. Biology & Morphology of the Genera. In the present study, we focussed on Asterionella formosa Hassall, a cosmopolitan freshwater pennate diatom that forms stellate colonies of generally four to 8 cells by clonal reproduction.

Distribution: Found in nutrient-rich temperate lakes; is a major contributor to spring blooms. Figure 19. Centrales, Fragilariaceae, Eunotiaceae. In order to explain differences in the growth and reproduction of Daphnia pulicaria fed various freshwater diatoms, we measured ingestion rates and carbon incorporation for six cultured diatom species: the single-celled Stephanodiscus hantzschii, Stephanodiscus minutulus and Cyclotella meneghiniana, and the colony-forming Asterionella formosa, Fragilaria capucina and Fragilaria sp. Asterionella formosa is a common diatom in the plankton of lakes and slow moving rivers. Given the high diversity among diatoms, we studied the two marine model diatoms—Thalassiosira pseudonana and Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a freshwater diatom, Asterionella formosa, and Navicula pelliculosa—found in fresh- and sea-water environments. A. formosa is better able to grow at low PO4‐P concentrations than C. meneghiniana, as shown by its lower K for PO4‐P limited growth. Cells are joined at the 'foot pole' to form stellate colonies. (a) Asterionella formosa, when grown alone in a culture flask, establishes a stable population and maintains a resource, silicate, at a constant low level.

The living plankton diatom Asterionella formosa from Lake Baikal and the Irkutsk Water Reservoir was studied using light microscopy. 2018-03-25 21:31:07 Janina Kownacka - Updated media metadata for Asterionella formosa_7.jpg ; 2018-03-25 21:27:35 Janina Kownacka - Added media: Asterionella formosa_7.jpg ; 2015-01-29 05:26:36 Aimar Rakko - Updated media metadata for Asterionella formosa_6.jpg ; 2015-01-29 05:25:46 Aimar Rakko - Added media: Asterionella formosa_6.jpg Description: Pennate diatom. Saros, J.E., Michel, T.J., Interlandi, S.J. Edlund, M. A rimoportula may be present at either pole, at both poles, or even more than one rimoportula at a pole (Körner 1969, Round et al. A clone of the diatom Asterionella formosa was studied to determine the ability of the species to photoacclimate as they were passed through a light gradient at varying rates. The kQ of A. formosa compared to C. meneghiniana found in long‐term semicontinuous culture indicates that A. formosa is almost an order of magnitude more efficient at using internal phosphate for growth. The sinking rates of colonies of a laboratory strain of Asterionella formosa were measured over a 5-year period, during which time mean cell length and cell volume reduced by almost an order of magnitude and the typical, stellate arrangement of eight-celled colonies was eventually lost. Cell Size: Length (apical axis) 30-150um. 19: 55-65. That is, the morphology of Asterionella formosa colonies influences sinking rates.
