Properties
Bioluminescence:For Dissodinium pseudolunula - SELIGER et al. (1969 : 227 ; ‘Pyrocystis lunula’) ; SWIFT et al. (1973 : 421 ; clônes ressemblant à ‘Dissodinium lunula (Schuett) Taylor 1972’, lλmax = 475 nm, origine Atlantique ; p. 424 : certains clônes de Dissodinium spp. sont luminescents alors que d'autres ne le sont pas) ; SWIFT & MEUNIER, (1976 : 14 ; ‘Dissodinium lunula (Schuett) Taylor’) ; WIDDER et al. (1983 : 798 ; ‘Pyrocystis lunula’ lmax = 472 nm) ; LAPOTA & LOSEE (1984 : 220-221 ; ‘Pyrocystis lunula’ ; cf. littérature, non précisée ; récoltée dans le golfe de Californie ; en surface et 5 m). For Pyrocystis noctiluca: SWEENEY (1963 : 178, tab. 1 ; cf. MURRAY) ; SWIFT et al (1973 : 420, 422 ; Atlantique tropical nord ouest, golfe du
Mexique, Caraïbes, lλmax = 473-474 nm ; espèce qui produit de 100 à 10000 fois plus de photons que les autres dinoflagellés
photosynthétique ; p. 425 : cf. SUKHANOVA & RUDYAKOV ; dans le Pacifique équatorial ouest, un maximum de concentration de P.
noctiluca à 70 m, 60 cellules/m3, est concomittant d’un pic de bioluminescence) ; SWIFT et al. (1983 : 857 ; “ P. noctiluca has the
greatest bioluminescence capacity of oceanic dinoflagellates ”) ; SWIFT et al. (1985b : 831 ; en mer des Sargasses, Pyrocystis noctiluca est responsable à certaines stations de 5 à 30 % de la bioluminescence mesurée) ; LAPOTA et al. (1988 : 76 ; océan Indien, concentration de 200-500 cellules/m3) ; BATCHELDER et al. (1990 : 161 “ in the northern Sargasso sea … it was estimated that the large bioluminescent dinoflagellate Pyrocystis noctiluca was responsible for > 80% of the total bioluminescence produced by netplankton larger than 202 μm in summer ”) ; LAPOTA & LOSEE (1984 : 221 ; golfe de Californie, à 5 m) ; BUSKEY & SWIFT (1990 : 1474 ; mer des Sargasses) ; LOSEE et al. (1985 : 221, ‘Pyrocystis pseudonoctiluca’ fig. 9) ; WIDDER et al. (1983 : 799 ; lmax = 472 nm ; Californie) ; BUSKEY (1995 : 154 ; nord de la mer d’Arabie).
