Abstract
Laboratory infections of P. perforata thallus discs with zoospores of P. marinum showed that the colonization rate is markedly influenced by temperature, salinity and reproductive stage of the algal discs. The most rapid colonization rate occurred on discs obtained from reproductive areas of the alga, or areas immediately adjacent to these, when the discs were in diluted seawater with a salinity of 24% and at 20.degree. C. All species of Porphyra examined were capable of being infected in the laboratory as was Porphyrella gardneri.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
