Diversity of the phytoplanktonic species responsible for Harmful Algal Blooms HABs in Indonesia with a special focus on the Alexandrium tamarense complex Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari komposisi spesies genus Alexandrium yang merupakan itoplankton yang menyebabkan berkembangnya ganggang berbahaya dan dinolagelata berpotensi racun di Indonesia Bidang Penelitian : Biologi Kelautan Daerah Penelitian : DKI Jakarta Pulau Pari, Pulau Panyaliran dan Selat Sunda Lama Penelitian : 12 dua belas bulan mulai 25 September 2013 Puslit Oseanograi LIPI Dr. Hikmah Thoha Abstract This research proposal comes within the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding MoU signed in 2012 between IRD and LIPI. Conducted in close collaboration with all the Indonesian partners involved, it will focus on the diversity of the phytoplanktonic species responsive for Harmful Algae Blooms HABs in Indonesia. Indonesia has a huge maritime territory, with nearly 108,000 km of coastline. Due to the importance and recurring phytoplankton blooms observed on its shores, the Indonesian government has in the recent years promoted research on these toxic events, also called “Harmful Algal Blooms” HAB. This research project aims at 1 studying the species composition by ribotyping of strains belonging to the genus Alexandrium and other potentially toxic dinolagellates in Indonesia; their presence has indeed already been reported in several toxic events, but without any indication on the species involved. Such a 104 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 study will provide a irst overview on the Alexandrium species associated with HABs in Indonesia; 2 investigating the genetic diversity of isolates corresponding to A catenella with microsateltite markers, in order to complete the ongoing A catenella biogeographical study for which data for this region is lacking; 3 looking at the strain diversity of Alexandrium and other dinolagellates present in ballast and harbor waters and sediments, which should further help our understanding of the dynamics of expansion and colonization process of toxic species. Results of this research should provide new information on the taxonomy and diversity of dinolagellates in Indonesian waters, as well as new insights into the biogeography of Alexandrium genus. This collaborative project will represent a good opportunity to train scientists from LIPI-RCO to cyst examination and taxonomy, and to co-supervise Master andor PhD students.
