Abstract

The effects of temperature and photoperiod on the growth rate and maturation rate of the parthenogenetic strain of  the brown alga Petalonia binghamiae were examined. The relative growth rate of the germlings grown from gametes was highest at 25 °C and decreased at 30 °C. There was no significant difference in the relative growth rate under long-day and medium-day conditions, but it was lower under short-day conditions. The germlings formed blades at 10–15 °C, but not at 25 °C. The blade formation rates of microthalli derived from the stock culture reached > 70% at each photoperiod, while the germlings grown from gametes did not form blades under short-day conditions. The relative growth rate of the blades was highest at 15 °C. All blades matured at 10–20 °C, but not at 25 °C. The use of the parthenogenetic strain of P. binghamiae will enable simplification of the cultivation method of this species.
