ABSTRACT:
A method for selectively enhancing the growth of the population of a dinoflagellate comprises incubating a medium containing at least one dinoflagellate cell in the presence of mimosine or a toxic degradative product thereof is provided as well as isolates and cultures of dionoflagellates obtainable by said method. A method for isolating chemical compounds produced by dinoflagellates and chemical compounds obtainable by said method are also provided, as well as a method of identifying the causative agent of red tides.
