Growth of the conchocelis phase of Porphyra columbina (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) at different temperatures and levels of light, nitrogen and phosphorus

Temperature, light, nitrogen and phosphorus all had significant effects on the growth of conchocelis colonies of Porphyra columbina Montagne when grown in vitro using a shell substrate. High rates of growth were recorded at 15°C and at 8°C under low light levels. These fight and temperature conditions are similar to those found in the subtidal environment of southern New Zealand coastlines. Little growth occured at 22°C. Nitrogen stimulated growth at concentrations far greater than are likely to be found in situ, while at concentrations of 120 μmol/L and above phosphorus had an inhibitory effect on growth, The culture parameters were strongly interactive in their effect on growth, in particular temperature and light. Conchosporangia formed in all treatments 14 days after alteration of the photoperiod to 10 h light: 14 h dark. Optimal conditions for culture of the conchocelis of P. columbina from southern New Zealand are a water temperature of approximately 15°C, light levels between 10 and 50 μmol m−2s−1 and seawater nitrogen levels maintained above 100 μmol/L.
