Dinoflagellate bioluminescence serves as a model system for examining mechanosensing by suspended motile unicellular organisms. The response latency, i.e. the delay time between the mechanical...
Shear-stress dependence of dinoflagellate bioluminescence (2007)
Latz, Michael I., Maldonado, Elisa M.
Fluid flow stimulates bioluminescence in dinoflagellates. However, many aspects of the cellular mechanotransduction are incompletely known. The objective of our study was to formally test the...
Rohr, Jim, Hyman, Mark, Fallon, Stewart, Latz, Michael I.
Observations of flow-stimulated bioluminescence have been recorded for centuries throughout the world's oceans. The present study explores, within a laboratory context, the use of naturally occurring...
Concentration and bioavailability of metals in San Diego Bay, California (2005)
Deheyn, Dimitri D, Latz, Michael I
The goal of this study is to describe the variation of metal concentrations in the environment of San Diego Bay, California, and assess the biological availability of metals throughout the Bay...
Latz, Michael I, Juhl, A R, Ahmed, A M, Elghobashi, S E, Rohr, J
Dinoflagellate bioluminescence provides a near-instantaneous reporter of cell response to flow. Although both fluid shear stress and acceleration are thought to be stimulatory, previous studies have...
Bioluminescence Response of Four Species of Dinoflagellates to Fully Developed Pipe Flow (2004)
Latz, Michael I., Nauen, Jennifer C., Rohr, Jim
Dinoflagellate bioluminescence provides a nearly instantaneous index of flow sensitivity. This study compared flow sensitivity in four species of morphologically diverse luminescent dinoflagellates...
Bioluminescence response of four species of dinoflagellates to fully developed pipe flow (2004)
Latz, Michael I., Nauen, Jennifer C., Rohr, Jim
Dinoflagellate bioluminescence provides a nearly instantaneous index of flow sensitivity. This study compared flow sensitivity in four species of morphologically diverse luminescent dinoflagellates...
The use of dinoflagellate bioluminescence to characterize cell stimulation in bioreactors (2003)
Chen, A K, Latz, Michael I, Frangos, J A
Bioluminescent dinoflagellates are flow-sensitive marine organisms that produce light emission almost instantaneously upon stimulation by fluid shear in a shear stress dose-dependent manner. In the...
An Experimental-Numerical Study of Small Scale Flow Interaction with Bioluminescent Plankton (1998)
Numerical and experimental approaches were used to investigate the effects of quantified flow stimuli on bioluminescence sUmulatidn at the small length and time scales appropriate for individual...
Flow Visualization in the Ocean - Implications of Laboratory Bioluminescence Experiments (1998)
Rohr, Jim, Schoonmaker, Jon, Losee, Jon, Latz, Michael I., Hyman, Mark
The objective of this study is to begin to assess the potential of using flow-induced bioluminescence as a method for visualizing oceanic flow fields. The bioluminescence response of dinoflagellates...
Bioluminescence Source Emission Characterization. (1997)
A study of the hydrodynamics characterization of the excitation of bioluminescence was performed in collaboration with NRaD scientist Dr. James Rohr. Present research using fully developed pipe flow...
Temporal Variability in the Vertical Structure of Bioluminescence in the North Atlantic Ocean (1994)
Douglas J. Neilson, Michael I. Latz, James F. Case
The temporal and depth variability of stimulated bioluminescence at 59°N 21°W in the North Atlantic was measured by two bathyphotometers (BPs) during 1991 as part of the ML-ML field program. A...
