- Abstract
- Coralline algae, the algal whitening phenomenon-causing seaweeds, are characterized by calcareous deposits in the cell wall. The viability of the coralline algae Lithophyllum yessoense and Corallina pilulifera was quantitated using a triphenyltetrazolium chloride assay and eight calcification inhibitors. Among these inhibitors, ferric citrate showed the strongest inhibition of coralline algae viability. The concentrations of ferric citrate conferring 50% inhibition were 1.7 and 3.8 mM for L. yessoense and C. pilulifera, respectively. Thus, at a specific concentration and in a localized area, ferric citrate may be used to prevent the blooming of coralline algae. © 2014 The Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Science.
