Extract

This note concerns a series of experiments to determine the best conditions of salinity, temperature and pH for cultivating the euryhaline phagotrophic dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina Dujardin.

The strain of Oxyrrhis employed was isolated from a brackish pool at Tvarminne, Finland (Droop, 1953a, b). The culture medium for the experiments contained soil extract and an artificial sea water, SW 1 (NaCl, MgCl26H2O, KCl, and CaSO42H2O in the proportions by weight 15:2.5:0.4:0.5), and for food a small quantity of the yeast Saccharomyces exiguus was administered daily from an agar culture with a wire loop.
