Description
Summary:Prorocentrum shikokuense in the North Atlantic Ocean The molecular data suggest the presence of P. shikokuense in the European Atlantic (Figs 2, 4), but studies combining molecular and morphological data remain missing. In addition to the sequence from the subtropical Canary Islands, there is other SSU rRNA gene sequence from a strain isolated in the Baltic Sea that clustered in the clade of P. shikokuense (accession number MH976698) (Fig. 2). Monti-Birkenmeier et al. (2019, their fig. 2c) provided a SEM image of this Baltic strain submitted to GenBank as Prorocentrum cordatum . The cell was oval with a length of 10 µm that fit well with P. cordatum (Monti-Birkenmeier et al. 2019), while cells of P. shikokuense are more elongated and ~20 µm long. There is no coherence between the morphology of the illustrated cell and the topology of the sequence MH 976698 in the molecular phylogeny (Fig. 2). According Xu et al. (2010), P. shikokuense showed an optimal growth at 27 ºC in the East China Sea.
