Citación: | Microbial Ecology 79(1): 64-72 (2020) | Resumen: | Temporal programs synchronised with the daily cycle are of adaptive importance for organisms exposed to periodic fluctuations. This study deepens into several aspects of the exogenous and endogenous nature of microbial grazers. We investigated the diel rhythms of cell division and feeding activity of four marine protists under different light regimes. In particular, we tested if the feeding cycle of protistan grazers could be mediated by a light-aided enhancement of prey digestion, and also explored the consequences of cell division on diel feeding rhythms. Cell division occurred at night for the heterotrophic dinoflagellates Gyrodinium dominans and Oxyrrhis marina. In contrast, the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Karlodinium armiger and the ciliate Strombidium sp. mostly divided during the day. Additionally, a significant diurnal feeding rhythm was observed in all species. When exposed to continuous darkness, nearly all species maintained the cell division rhythm, but lost the feeding cycle within several hours/days (with the exception of O. marina that kept the rhythm for 9.5 days). Additional feeding experiments under continuous light also showed the same pattern. We conclude that the feeding rhythms of protistan grazers are generally regulated not by cell division nor by the enhancement of digestion by light. Our study, moreover, indicates that the cell division cycle is under endogenous control, whereas an external trigger is required to maintain the feeding rhythm, at least for most of the species studied here | Descripción: | 9 pages, 3 figures, 1 table | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00248-019-01390-y | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/199521 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00248-019-01390-y | Identificadores: | issn: 0095-3628 issn: 1432-184X |
