Description
The culture of the dinoflagellates Prorocentrum cordatum was subjected to various stressors to induce the process of ecdysis. The stressors were centrifugation, vortexing, changes in temperature, salinity and pH, application of 2,3-dichlorobenzonitrile and tetracycline. The rates of complete ecdysis and ecdysis initiation, as well as mortality rate were calculated following the treatments. Rate of ecdysis induced by centrifugation was additionally estimated in the cultures at the different growth phases.
