Bacteria enhance the production of extracellular polymeric substances by the green dinoflagellate Lepidodinium chlorophorum
Abstract High biomasses of the marine dinoflagellate Lepidodinium chlorophorum cause green seawater discolorations along Southern Brittany (NE Atlantic, France). The viscosity associated to these phenomena has been related to problems in oyster cultivation. The harmful effect of L. chlorophorum migh...
