We examined the growth and interactions between the bloom-forming flagellatesProrocentrum minimumandHeterosigma akashiwousing bi-algal culture experiments. When both species were inoculated at high cell densities, growth ofH. akashiwowas inhibited byP. minimum. In other combinations of inoculation densities, the species first reaching the stationary phase substantially suppressed maximum cell densities of the other species, but the growth inhibition effect ofP. minimumwas stronger than that ofH. akashiwo. We used a mathematical model to simulate growth and interactions ofP. minimumandH. akashiwoin bi-algal cultures. The model indicated thatP. minimumalways out-competedH. akashiwoover time. Additional experiments showed that crude extracts fromP. minimumandH. akashiwocultures did not affect the growth of either species, but both strongly inhibited the growth of the bloom-forming diatomSkeletonema costatum. Further experiments showed that it was unlikely that reactive oxygen species produced byH. akashiwowere responsible for the inhibition ofP. minimumgrowth.
