Cultivation of marine ciliates (Tintinnida) and heterotrophic flagellates

Abstract

1. Five species of heterotrophic Protozoa are presently under investigation in this laboratory. They are: the tintinnid, Tintinnopsis beroidea, 2 species of dinoflagellate, Cryptothecodinium cohnii and Noctiluca scintillans, and the choanoflagellates Diaphanoeca grandis and Acanthoecopsis sp. 2. Their nutritional status and some potential applications are discussed, along with some observations on other tintinnids previously cultured. © 1970 Biologischen Anstalt Helgoland.
