Figure 2. Microscopic observations of time-dependent algicidal activity produced by aminoclay (0.01%, w/v) loading.

Figure 2

Light microscopy images of (a) Cochlodinium polykrikoides, (b) Chattonella marina, (c) Heterosigma akashiwo, and (d) Chattonella marina with other phytoplanktons (Amphidinium sp. and Navicula pelliculosa): (i) control without aminoclay treatment, (ii) 1 min, (iii) 5 min, (iv) 10 min, (v) 15 min, and (vi) 20 min. Scale bars in a,b, and d are 10 μm. Scale bar in c is 5 μm. Confocal microscopy images of (e) Cochlodinium polykrikoides and (f) Chattonella marina: (i) control without aminoclay treatment, (ii) 5 min after aminoclay treatment. Scale bars are 20 μm. In (f) the confocal microscopy image is the left panel, light microscopy image is the right panel and merged image is the vertical panel. Scale bars are 50 μm. (g) Confocal microscopy image of mixture of Chattonella marina with other phytoplankton (Amphidinium sp. and Navicula pelliculosa). Scale bars are 50 μm. Abbreviations: C. marina (Chattonella marina), A. sp. (Amphidinium sp.), N. pelliculosa (Navicula pelliculosa).
