The domoic acid (DA) producing pennate diatom Nitzschia pungens f. multiseries (clone POM, from Nova Scotia, Canada) was grown at photon flux densities (PFD) of 80 and 180 IlE m- 2 S-1 and 5°,10°,15°,20° and 25°C. The growth rate (Il) increased from 0.25 d" at 5°C to a maximum of 0.65 d- 1 at 20°C; it was 0.60 d-' at 25°C. There was no significant difference in Il between cultures grown at the two PFD at any temperature. The 0 10 for Il was 1.76 and 2.06 between 5° - 15°C and 10° - 20°C, respectively. The highest stationary phase cell concentrations occurred at 5° to 15°C and decreased at 20° to 25°C. The DA production rate increased from 0.01 pg DA cell" d- 1 at 5°C to 0.51 pg DA ceW' d-' at 25°C; the 0 10 was 19.6 and 2.11 between 5° - 15°C and 15° 25°C, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy showed that cells at 5° and 15°C had 3 - 4 rows of poroids between the costae. In contrast, cells at 25°C had 2 - 3 rows of poroids. The higher cell concentrations at lower temperatures may confer a competitive advantage to N. pungens, although there appears to be no unique physiological adaptation related to growth or DA production at the low temperatures characteristic of its natural habitat in autumn and winter in eastern Canada.
