Two strains of Scytosiphon lomentaria from Denmark have been grown under long-day conditions on a temperature-gradient plate. The material from north-west Jutland (strain No. 46) has a reduced prostrate system (a few-celled lump) whereas the other material from the Sound (strain No. S41) has a well-developed crust. This difference plays a significant role in growth and reproductive patterns. Strain No. 46 rapidly produces a great number of cylindrical macrothalli. Within a four-week experimental period, formation of swarmers from plurilocular sporangia on the macrothalli takes place and results in a maximum dry weight of 32.9 mg at 18.2°C.
Swarmers from the macrothalli of strain S41 always develop into knot-filamentous or crust-shaped thalli. The development of the macrothalli, therefore, takes a longer time than in strain 46 and the maximum dry weight is only 16.5 mg at 16°C even within an experimental period of six weeks. The reproductive pattern is more complex than in strain 46. The crusts produce unilocular sporangia at temperatures between 16°C and 23.8°C, and function, therefore, as the reproductive system during the summer as macrothalli disappear at temperatures above 18°C both in nature and in culture. Formation of plurilocular sporangia on macrothalli starts when they are from 6–9 weeks old at temperatures between 11°C and 18°C.
The temperature range for growth in the two strains also differs: Strain 46 grows from 7.3–24.4°C while strain S41 grows at least from 4–5.1°C to an upper limit of 27.1°C, but lower limit has not been determined precisely in the present experiment. These results indicate that temperature ecotypes exist, even within a limited geographic area.
