This article reports rate constants for thiol–thioester exchange (k
ex), and for acid-mediated (k
a), base-mediated (k
b), and pH-independent (k
w) hydrolysis of S-methyl thioacetate and S-phenyl 5-dimethylamino-5-oxo-thiopentanoate—model alkyl and aryl thioalkanoates, respectively—in water. Reactions such as
thiol–thioester exchange or aminolysis could have generated molecular complexity on early Earth, but for thioesters to have
played important roles in the origin of life, constructive reactions would have needed to compete effectively with hydrolysis
under prebiotic conditions. Knowledge of the kinetics of competition between exchange and hydrolysis is also useful in the
optimization of systems where exchange is used in applications such as self-assembly or reversible binding. For the alkyl
thioester S-methyl thioacetate, which has been synthesized in simulated prebiotic hydrothermal vents, k
a = 1.5 × 10−5 M−1 s−1, k
b = 1.6 × 10−1 M−1 s−1, and k
w = 3.6 × 10−8 s−1. At pH 7 and 23°C, the half-life for hydrolysis is 155 days. The second-order rate constant for thiol–thioester exchange
between S-methyl thioacetate and 2-sulfonatoethanethiolate is k
ex = 1.7 M−1 s−1. At pH 7 and 23°C, with [R″S(H)] = 1 mM, the half-life of the exchange reaction is 38 h. These results confirm that conditions
(pH, temperature, pK
a of the thiol) exist where prebiotically relevant thioesters can survive hydrolysis in water for long periods of time and
rates of thiol–thioester exchange exceed those of hydrolysis by several orders of magnitude. 相似文献

In eutherian mammals, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) mediated non-shivering thermogenesis from brown adipose tissue (BAT) provides
a mechanism through which arousal from torpor and hibernation is facilitated. In order to directly assess the magnitude by
which the presence or absence of UCP1 affects torpor patterns, rewarming and arousal rates within one species we compared
fasting induced torpor in wildtype (UCP1+/+) and UCP1-ablated mice (UCP−/−). Torpor was induced by depriving mice of food for up to 48 h and by a reduction of ambient temperature (T
a) from 30 to 18°C at four different time points after 18, 24, 30 and 36 h of food deprivation. In most cases, torpor bouts
occurred within 20 min after the switch in ambient temperature (30–18°C). Torpor bouts expressed during the light phase lasted
3–6 h while significantly longer bouts (up to 16 h) were observed when mice entered torpor during the dark phase. The degree
of hypometabolism (5–22 ml h−1) and hypothermia (19.5–26.7°C) was comparable in wildtype and UCP1-ablated mice, and both genotypes were able to regain normothermia.
In contrast to wildtype mice, UCP1-ablated mice did not display multiple torpor bouts per day and their peak rewarming rates
from torpor were reduced by 50% (UCP1+/+: 0.24 ± 0.08°C min−1; UCP1−/−: 0.12 ± 0.04°C min−1). UCP1-ablated mice therefore took significantly longer to rewarm from 25 to 32°C (39 vs. 70 min) and required 60% more energy
for this process. Our results demonstrate the energetic benefit of functional BAT for rapid arousal from torpor. They also
suggest that torpor entry and maintenance may be dependent on endogenous rhythms. 相似文献

Morphology and culture studies on germlings of Sargassum thunbergii (Mertens et Roth) Kuntze were carried out under controlled laboratory conditions. Growth characteristics of these germlings
grown under different temperatures (from 10 to 25°C), irradiances (from 9 to 88 μmol photons m−2 s−1), and under blue and white light conditions are described. The development of embryonic germlings follows the classic “8
nuclei 1 egg” type described for Sargassaceae. Fertilized eggs spent 5–6 h developing into multicellular germlings with abundant
rhizoids after fertilization. Under conditions of 20°C, 44 μmol photons m−2 s−1 and photoperiod of 12 h, young germlings with one or two leaflets reached 2–3 mm in length after 8 weeks. Temperature variations
(10, 15, 20, 25°C) under 88 μmol photons m−2 s−1 significantly influenced the growth rate within the first week, although this effect became less obvious after 8 weeks, especially
at 15 and 20°C. Variation in germling growth was highly significant under different irradiances (9, 18, 44, 88 μmol photons
m−2 s−1) at 25°C. Low temperature (10°C) reduced germling growth. Growth of germlings cultured under blue light was lower than in
white light. Optimal growth of these germlings occurred at 25°C and 44 μmol photons m−2 s−1. 相似文献

Human serum heme–albumin (HSA-heme) displays globin-like properties. Here, the allosteric inhibition of ferric heme [heme-Fe(III)]
binding to human serum albumin (HSA) and of ferric HSA–heme [HSA-heme-Fe(III)]-mediated peroxynitrite isomerization by isoniazid
and rifampicin is reported. Moreover, the allosteric inhibition of isoniazid and rifampicin binding to HSA by heme-Fe(III)
has been investigated. Data were obtained at pH 7.2 and 20.0 °C. The affinity of isoniazid and rifampicin for HSA [K
0 = (3.9 ± 0.4) × 10−4 and (1.3 ± 0.1) × 10−5 M, respectively] decreases by about 1 order of magnitude upon heme-Fe(III) binding to HSA [K
h = (4.3 ± 0.4) × 10−3 and (1.2 ± 0.1) × 10−4 M, respectively]. As expected, the heme-Fe(III) affinity for HSA [H
0 = (1.9 ± 0.2) × 10−8 M] decreases by about 1 order of magnitude in the presence of saturating amounts of isoniazid and rifampicin [H
d = (2.1 ± 0.2) × 10−7 M]. In the absence and presence of CO2, the values of the second-order rate constant (l
on) for peroxynitrite isomerization by HSA-heme-Fe(III) are 4.1 × 105 and 4.3 × 105 M−1 s−1, respectively. Moreover, isoniazid and rifampicin inhibit dose-dependently peroxynitrite isomerization by HSA-heme-Fe(III)
in the absence and presence of CO2. Accordingly, isoniazid and rifampicin impair in a dose-dependent fashion the HSA-heme-Fe(III)-based protection of free l-tyrosine against peroxynitrite-mediated nitration. This behavior has been ascribed to the pivotal role of Tyr150, a residue
that either provides a polar environment in Sudlow’s site I (i.e., the binding pocket of isoniazid and rifampicin) or protrudes
into the heme-Fe(III) cleft, depending on ligand binding to Sudlow’s site I or to the FA1 pocket, respectively. These results
highlight the role of drugs in modulating heme-Fe(III) binding to HSA and HSA-heme-Fe(III) reactivity. 相似文献

To identify the controls on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) production, we incubated soils from 18 sites, a mixture of 52 forest
floor and peats and 41 upper mineral soil samples, at three temperatures (3, 10, and 22°C) for over a year and measured DOC
concentration in the leachate and carbon dioxide (CO2) production from the samples. Concentrations of DOC in the leachate were in the range encountered in field soils (<2 to >50 mg l−1). There was a decline in DOC production during the incubation, with initial rates averaging 0.03–0.06 mg DOC g−1 soil C day−1, falling to averages of 0.01 mg g−1 soil C day−1; the rate of decline was not strongly related to temperature. Cumulative DOC production rates over the 395 days ranged from
less than 0.01 to 0.12 mg g−1 soil C day−1 (0.5–47.6 mg g−1 soil C), with an average of 0.021 mg g−1 soil C day−1 (8.2 mg g−1 soil C). DOC production rate was weakly related to temperature, equivalent to Q10 values of 0.9 to 1.2 for mineral samples and 1.2 to 1.9 for organic samples. Rates of DOC production in the organic samples
were correlated with cellulose (positively) and lignin (negatively) proportion in the organic matter, whereas in the mineral
samples C and nitrogen (N) provided positive correlations. The partitioning of C released into CO2–C and DOC showed a quotient (CO2–C:DOC) that varied widely among the samples, from 1 to 146. The regression coefficient of CO2–C:DOC production (log10 transformed) ranged from 0.3 to 0.7, all significantly less than 1. At high rates of DOC production, a smaller proportion
of CO2 is produced. The CO2–C:DOC quotient was dependent on incubation temperature: in the organic soil samples, the CO2–C:DOC quotient rose from an average of 6 at 3 to 16 at 22°C and in the mineral samples the rise was from 7 to 27. The CO2–C:DOC quotient was related to soil pH in the organic samples and C and N forms in the mineral samples. 相似文献

Copper (II) complex of formulation [Cu–Phen–Tyr](H2O)](ClO4) (Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, l-Tyr = l-tyrosine), has been prepared, and their induced DNA oxidative cleavage activity studied. The complex binds to DNA by intercalation,
as deduced from the absorption and fluorescence spectral data. Scatchard plots constructed from the absorption titration data
gave binding constant 2.44 × 104 M−1 of base pairs. Extensive hypochromism, broadening, and red shifts in the absorption spectra were observed. Upon binding to
DNA, the fluorescence from the DNA–ethidium bromide system was efficiently quenched by the copper (II) complex. Stern–Volmer
quenching constant 0.61 × 103 M−1 obtained from the linear quenching plots. [Cu–Phen–Tyr] complex efficiently cleave the supercoiled DNA to its nicked circular
form with gallic acid as biological reductant at appropriate complex concentration. The gallic acid as reductant could observably
improve copper (II) complex to DNA damage. The pseudo-Michaelis–Menten kinetic parameters (k
cat, K
M) were calculated to be 1.32 h−1 and 5.46 × 10−5 M for [Cu–Phen–Tyr] complex. Mechanistic studies reveal the involvement of superoxide anions and hydroxyl radical (HO·) as the reactive species under an aerobic medium. 相似文献

Feeding and exhaustive exercise are known to elevate metabolism. However, acid–base status may be oppositely affected by the
two processes. In this study, we first investigated the acid–base response of Chinese catfish to feeding (the meal size was
about 8% of body mass) to test whether an alkaline tide (a metabolic alkalosis created by gastric HCl secretion after feeding)
would occur. We then determined the combined effects of feeding and exhaustive exercise on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
and acid–base status to determine whether the alkaline tide induced by feeding protects against acid–base disturbance during
exhaustive exercise and affects subsequent recovery. Arterial blood pH increased from 7.74 ± 0.02 before feeding to 7.88 ± 0.02
and plasma [HCO3
−]pl increased from 5.42 ± 0.29 to 7.83 ± 0.37 mmol L−1 6 h after feeding, while feeding had no significant effect on
P\textCO2 P_{{{\text{CO}}_{2} }} . Exhaustive exercise led to a significant reduction in pH by 0.46 units and a reduction of [HCO3
−]pl by ~3 mmol L−1. Lactate concentrations in white muscle and plasma increased by 2.4 mmol L−1 and 13.4 μmol g−1, respectively. Fed fish had a higher pH and [HCO3
−]pl than fasting fish at rest, and the reductions in pH (0.36 units) and [HCO3
−]pl (~2 mmol L−1) were thus lower after exhaustive exercise. However, the recovery of acid–base status and metabolites were similar in digesting
and fasting fish. Overall, a significant alkaline tide was found in Chinese catfish after feeding. The alkaline tide elicited
by feeding significantly prevented the decreases in pH and [HCO3
−]pl immediately after exhaustive exercise, but recovery from exhaustive exercise was not affected by digestion. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to improve the biological water–gas shift reaction for producing hydrogen (H2) by conversion of carbon monoxide (CO) using an anaerobic thermophilic pure strain, Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans. Specific hydrogen production rates and yields were investigated at initial biomass densities varying from 5 to 20 mg volatile
suspended solid (VSS) L−1. Results showed that the gas–liquid mass transfer limits the CO conversion rate at high biomass concentrations. At 100-rpm
agitation and at CO partial pressure of 1 atm, the optimal substrate/biomass ratio must exceed 5 mol CO g−1 biomass VSS in order to avoid gas–liquid substrate transfer limitation. An average H2 yield of 94 ± 3% and a specific hydrogen production rate of ca. 3 mol g−1 VSS day−1 were obtained at initial biomass densities between 5 and 8 mg VSS−1. In addition, CO bioconversion kinetics was assessed at CO partial pressure from 0.16 to 2 atm, corresponding to a dissolved
CO concentration at 70°C from 0.09 to 1.1 mM. Specific bioactivity was maximal at 3.5 mol CO g−1 VSS day−1 for a dissolved CO concentration of 0.55 mM in the culture. This optimal concentration is higher than with most other hydrogenogenic
carboxydotrophic species. 相似文献

Pollution of terrestrial surfaces and aquatic systems by hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), is a worldwide public health problem.
A chromium resistant bacterial isolate identified as Exiguobacterium sp. GS1 by 16S rRNA gene sequencing displayed high rate of removal of Cr(VI) from water. Exiguobacterium sp. GS1 is 99% identical to Exiguobacterium acetylicum. The isolate significantly removed Cr(VI) at both high and low concentrations (1–200 μg mL−1) within 12 h. The Michaelis–Menten K
m
and V
max for Cr(VI) bioremoval were calculated to be 141.92 μg mL−1 and 13.22 μg mL−1 h−1, respectively. Growth of Exiguobacterium sp. GS1 was indifferent at 1–75 μg mL−1 Cr(VI) in 12 h. At initial concentration of 8,000 μg L−1, Exiguobacterium sp. GS1 displayed rapid bioremoval of Cr(VI) with over 50% bioremoval in 3 h and 91% bioremoval in 8 h. Kinetic analysis
of Cr(VI) bioremoval rate revealed zero-order in 8 h. Exiguobacterium sp. GS1 grew and significantly reduced Cr(VI) in cultures containing 1–9% salt indicating high salt tolerance. Similarly
the isolate substantially reduced Cr(VI) over a wide range of temperature (18–45 °C) and initial pH (6.0–9.0). The T
opt and initial pHopt were 35–40 °C and 7–8, respectively. Exiguobacterium sp. GS1 displayed a great potential for bioremediation of Cr(VI) in diverse complex environments. 相似文献

The effects of temperature, irradiance, and daylength on Sargassum horneri growth were examined at the germling and adult stages to discern their physiological differences. Temperature–irradiance
(10, 15, 20, 25, 30°C × 20, 40, 80 μmol photons m−2s−1) and daylength (8, 12, 16, 24 h) experiments were carried out. The germlings and blades of S. horneri grew over a wide range of temperatures (10–25°C), irradiances (20–80 μmol photons m−2s−1), and daylengths (8–24 h). At the optimal growth conditions, the relative growth rates (RGR) of the germlings were 21% day−1 (25°C, 20 μmol photons m−2s−1) and 13% day−1 (8 h daylength). In contrast, the RGRs of the blade weights were 4% day−1 (15°C, 20 μmol photons m−2s−1) and 5% day−1 (12 h daylength). Negative growth rates were found at 20 μmol photons m−2s−1 of 20°C and 25°C treatments after 12 days. This phenomenon coincides with the necrosis of S. horneri blades in field populations. In conclusion, we found physiological differences between S. horneri germlings and adults with respect to daylength and temperature optima. The growth of S. horneri germlings could be enhanced at 25°C, 20 μmol photons m−2s−1, and 8 h daylength for construction of Sargassum beds and restoration of barren areas. 相似文献

In winter of 2009/2010, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae bloomed in the ice and snow covered oligo-mesotrophic Lake Stechlin, Germany. The photosynthesis of the natural population was measured at eight temperatures in the range of 2–35°C, at nine different irradiance levels in the range of 0–1,320 μmol m−2 s−1 PAR at each applied temperature. The photoadaptation parameter (I k) and the maximum photosynthetic rate (P max) correlated positively with the temperature between 2 and 30°C, and there was a remarkable drop in both parameters at 35°C. The low I k at low temperatures enabled the active photosynthesis of overwintering populations at low irradiance levels under ice and snow cover. The optimum of the photosynthesis was above 20°C at irradiances above 150 μmol m−2 s−1. At lower irradiance levels (7.5–30 μmol m−2 s−1), the photosynthesis was the most intensive in the temperature range of 2–5°C. The interaction between light and temperature allowed the proliferation of A. flos-aquae in Lake Stechlin resulting in winter water bloom in this oligo-mesotrophic lake. The applied 2°C is the lowest experimental temperature ever in the photosynthesis/growth studies of A. flos-aquae, and the results of the P–I and P–T measurements provide novel information about the tolerance and physiological plasticity of this species. 相似文献

Anti-bacterial drug resistance is one of the most critical concerns among the scientist worldwide. The novel antimicrobial
decapeptide SD-8 is designed and its minimal inhibitory concentration and therapeutic index (TI) was found in the range of
1–8 μg/ml and 45–360, respectively, against major group of Gram positive pathogens (GPP). The peptide was also found to be
least hemolytic at a concentration of 180 μg/ml, i.e., nearly 77 times higher than its average effective concentration. The
kinetics assay showed that the killing time is 120 min for methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and 90 min for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Membrane permeabilization is the cause of peptide antimicrobial activity as shown by the transmission electron microscopy
studies. The peptide showed the anti-inflammatory property by inhibiting COX-2 with a K
D and K
i values of 2.36 × 10−9 and 4.8 × 10−8 M, respectively. The peptide was also found to be effective in vivo as derived from histopathological observations in a Staphylococcal
skin infection rat model with MRSA as causative organism. 相似文献

Two 60-day experiments were conducted to study the influence of photon flux density (PFD) and temperature on the attachment
and development of Gloiopeltis tenax and Gloiopeltis furcata tetraspores. In the first experiment, tetraspores of the two Gloiopeltis species were incubated at five temperature ranges (8°C, 12°C, 16°C, 20°C, 24°C) under a constant PFD of 80 μmol photons m−2 s−1 with a photoperiod of 12:12. In a second experiment, tetraspores were incubated under five PFD gradients (30, 55, 80, 105,
130 μmol photons m−2 s−1) at a constant temperature of 16°C with a photoperiod of 12:12. Maximum density of attached tetraspores was observed at 16°C
for both species. Maximum per cent of spore germinating into disc was recorded at 12–16°C for G. tenax and 8–12°C for G. furcata. Maximum per cent of discs producing erect axes for G. tenax and G. furcata were recorded at 24°C and 20°C, respectively. Light had no significant effect on tetraspore attachment and developing into
disc, but it affected the growth, sprouting and survival of its discs. Under 30–55 μmol photons m−2 s−1, the discs of the two species of Gloiopeltis did not form thallus until the end of the experiment. Optimum PFD range for G. tenax discs was 80–105 μmol photons m−2 s−1, whilst it was 80–130 μmol photons m−2 s−1 for G. furcata. Results presented in this study are expected to assist the progress of artificial seeding of Gloiopeltis. 相似文献

A Bacillus sp., capable of degrading chloroform, was immobilized in calcium alginate. The beads in 20 g alginate l−1 (about 2 × 108 cells/bead) could be re-used nine times for degradation of chloroform at 40 μM. The immobilized cells had a higher range
of tolerance (pH 6.5–9 and 20–41°C) than free cells (pH 7–8.5 and 28–32°C). At 5 g alginate l−1, leakage of the cells from the beads was 0.51 mg dry wt ml−1. This species is the first reported Bacillus that can degrade chloroform as the sole carbon source. 相似文献

Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of isoamyl acetate in hexane at 10–250 MPa at 80°C and 1–100 MPa at 40°C resulted in activation
volumes of −12.9 ± 1.7 and −21.6 ± 2.9 cm3 mol−1, respectively. Increasing pressure from 10 to 200 MPa resulted in approximately 10-fold increase in V
max at both 40 and 80°C. Pressure increased the K
m from 2.4 ± 0.004 to 38 ± 0.78 mM at 40°C. In contrast, at 80°C the pressure did not affect the K

Standard microelectrode technique was used to study electrical activity of the isolated heart of the polychaete annelid, Arenicola marina. Typical pacemaker activity with slow diastolic depolarization was observed in all recordings. The average maximum diastolic
potential (−58.4 ± 3.2 mV), the average amplitude of the action potential (28.7 ± 4.7 mV) and the average total duration of
the action potential (2,434 ± 430 ms) were determined. There has been no gradient of automaticity observed in our studies,
which suggests that all regions of the Arenicola heart could possess pacemaker functions. Acetylcholine (ACh) produced a concentration dependent (5 × 10−8–5 × 10−5 M) increase of the beating rate via increase in the rate of the diastolic depolarization. ACh (5 × 10−5 M) increased beating rate by 2.5-fold compared to the control rate. A stronger action of ACh resulted in depolarization,
block of action potential generation and contracture of the heart. The non-hydrolysable ACh analog carbacholine (10−8–10−6 M) produced similar effects. All effects of ACh and carbacholine were abolished by 5 × 10−6 M atropine. d-Tubocurarine (5 × 10−5 M) did not significantly alter effects of ACh or carbacholine. Epinephrine (10−8–10−6 M) caused the slowing of pacemaker activity and marked decrease of action potential duration. 10−6 M epinephrine produced complete cardiac arrest. The effects of epinephrine were not significantly altered by the β-blocker
propranolol (5 × 10−6 M). The β-agonist isoproterenol (10−7–10−5 M) and the α-agonist xylometazoline (10−6–10−5 M) did not produce significant effects. Thus, cholinergic effects in the Arenicola heart are likely to be mediated via muscarinic receptors, while the nature of adrenergic effects needs further investigation. 相似文献

Simultaneous nutrients and carbon removal during pretreated swine slurry degradation in a tubular biofilm photobioreactor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The biodegradation potential of an innovative enclosed tubular biofilm photobioreactor inoculated with a Chlorella sorokiniana strain and an acclimated activated sludge consortium was evaluated under continuous illumination and increasing pretreated
(centrifuged) swine slurry loading rates. This photobioreactor configuration provided simultaneous and efficient carbon, nitrogen,
and phosphorous treatment in a single-stage process at sustained nitrogen and phosphorous removals efficiencies ranging from
94% to 100% and 70–90%, respectively. Maximum total organic carbon (TOC), NH4
+, and PO4
3− removal rates of 80 ± 5 g C mr
−3 day−1, 89 ± 5 g N mr
−3 day−1, and 13 ± 3 g P mr
−3 day−1, respectively, were recorded at the highest swine slurry loadings (TOC of 1,247 ± 62 mg L−1, N–NH4
+ of 656 ± 37 mg L−1, P–PO4
3+ of 117 ± 19 mg L−1, and 7 days of hydraulic retention time). The unusual substrates diffusional pathways established within the phototrophic
biofilm (photosynthetic O2 and TOC/NH4
+ diffusing from opposite sides of the biofilm) allowed both the occurrence of a simultaneous denitrification/nitrification
process at the highest swine slurry loading rate and the protection of microalgae from any potential inhibitory effect mediated
by the combination of high pH and high NH3 concentrations. In addition, this biofilm-based photobioreactor supported efficient biomass retention (>92% of the biomass
generated during the pretreated swine slurry biodegradation). 相似文献

Three hundred sixty healthy Ross×Ross 1-day-old broilers were used to study the effects of zinc glycine chelate (Zn-Gly) on
growth performance, hematological, and immunological characteristics. All broilers were randomly assigned into six treatments.
Diets were as follows: (1) control (containing 29.3 mg Zn kg−1 basic diet [0–3 weeks] and 27.8 mg Zn kg−1 [4–6 weeks]); (2) basic diet plus 30 mg Zn kg−1 from Zn-Gly; (3) basic diet plus 60 mg Zn kg−1 from Zn-Gly; (4) basic diet plus 90 mg Zn kg−1 from Zn-Gly; (5) basic diet plus 120 mg Zn kg−1 from Zn-Gly; (6) positive control, basic diet plus 120 mg Zn kg−1 from zinc sulfate (ZnSO4). After the 21- and 42-day feeding trials, the results showed that both of Zn-Gly and ZnSO4 could improve the growth performance of broilers, with the greatest average daily feed intake observed in the broilers fed
90 mg Zn kg−1 from Zn-Gly, but the greatest average daily gain observed with 120 mg Zn kg−1 from Zn-Gly (0–3 weeks) and 90 mg Zn kg−1 from Zn-Gly (4–6 weeks). Adding additional Zn-Gly improved the levels of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, and IgG) and the contents
of total protein and Ca in serum and increased the immune organs index especially with 90 mg Zn kg−1 as Zn-Gly. However, there were no significant differences in responses to complements (C3 and C4) and albumin in serum among
the treatments. 相似文献

Physical, biogeochemical and photosynthetic parameters were measured in sea ice brine and ice core bottom samples in the north-western
Weddell Sea during early spring 2006. Sea ice brines collected from sackholes were characterised by cold temperatures (range
−7.4 to −3.8°C), high salinities (range 61.4–118.0), and partly elevated dissolved oxygen concentrations (range 159–413 μmol kg−1) when compared to surface seawater. Nitrate (range 0.5–76.3 μmol kg−1), dissolved inorganic phosphate (range 0.2–7.0 μmol kg−1) and silicic acid (range 74–285 μmol kg−1) concentrations in sea ice brines were depleted when compared to surface seawater. In contrast, NH4
+ (range 0.3–23.0 μmol kg−1) and dissolved organic carbon (range 140–707 μmol kg−1) were enriched in the sea ice brines. Ice core bottom samples exhibited moderate temperatures and brine salinities, but high
algal biomass (4.9–435.5 μg Chl a l−1 brine) and silicic acid depletion. Pulse amplitude modulated fluorometry was used for the determination of the photosynthetic

m, ranged from 0.101 to 0.500 (average 0.284 ± 0.132) and 0.235 to 0.595 (average 0.368 ± 0.127) in the sea ice internal and
bottom communities, respectively. The fluorometric measurements indicated medium ice algal photosynthetic activity both in
the internal and bottom communities of the sea ice. An observed lack of correlation between biogeochemical and photosynthetic
parameters was most likely due to temporally and spatially decoupled physical and biological processes in the sea ice brine
channel system, and was also influenced by the temporal and spatial resolution of applied sampling techniques. 相似文献
