Short- and long-term effects of solar ultraviolet radiation on the red algae Porphyridium cruentum (S. F. Gray) N?geli.

During spring 2002 and fall 2003 we carried out experiment in tropical southern China to determine the short- and long-term effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR, 280-400 nm) on photosynthesis and growth in the unicellular red alga Porphyridium cruentum. During the experimentation, cells of P. cruentum were exposed to three radiation treatments: (a) samples exposed to PAR (400-700 nm) + UV-A (315-400 nm) + UV-B (280-315 nm)(PAB treatment); (b) samples exposed to PAR + UV-A (PA treatment) and, (c) samples exposed only to PAR (P treatment). To assess the short-term impact of UVR as a function of irradiance, we determined photosynthesis versus irradiance (Pvs.E) curves. From these curves the maximum carbon uptake rate (P(max)) and the light saturation parameter (E(k)) were obtained, with values of approximately 12.8-14.4 microg C (microg chl a)(-1) h(-1), and approximately 250 micromol m(-2) s(-1), respectively. A significant UVR effect on assimilation numbers was observed when samples were exposed at irradiances higher than E(k), with samples exposed to full solar radiation having significant less carbon fixation than those exposed only to PAR. Biological weighting functions of P. cruentum were used to evaluate the UVR impact per unit energy received by the cells; the data indicate that the species is as sensitive as natural phytoplankton from the southern China Sea; however, it is much more resistant than Antarctic assemblages. When evaluating the combined effects of mixing speed and UVR, it was seen that samples rotating fast within the upper mixed layer were less inhibited by UVR as compared to those under slow mixing or in fixed samples. Growth of P. cruentum over a week-long experiment was not affected by neither UVR nor UV-A; additionally, low photoinhibition was found at the end as compared to that at the beginning of this experiment. Our results thus indicate that, although on short-term basis P. cruentum is affected by solar UVR, it can acclimate to minimize UVR-induced effects when given enough time.     

Effects of 50 Hz magnetic field on cell cycle kinetics and the colony forming ability of budding yeast exposed to ultraviolet radiation.

To investigate the effects of extremely low frequency magnetic fields on ultraviolet radiation (UV) exposed budding yeast, haploid yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells of the strain SEy2101a were exposed to 50 Hz sine wave magnetic field (MF) of 120 microT with simultaneous exposure to UV radiation. Most of the UV energy was in the UVB range (280-320 nm). The biologically weighted (CIE action spectrum) dose level for the UV radiation was 175 J/m2. We examined whether 50 Hz MF affected the ability of UV irradiated yeast cells to form colonies (Colony Forming Units, CFUs). In addition, the effect of coexposure on cell cycle kinetics was investigated. Although the significant effect of MF on the cell cycle phases of UV exposed yeast cells was seen only at one time point, the overall results showed that MF exposure may influence the cell cycle kinetics at the first cycle after UV irradiation. The effect of our particular MF exposure on the colony forming ability of the UV irradiated yeast cells was statistically significant 420 min after UV irradiation. Moreover, at 240, 360, and 420 min after UV irradiation, there were fewer CFUs in every experiment in (UV+MF) exposed populations than in only UV exposed yeast populations. These results could indicate that MF exposure in conjunction with UV may have some effects on yeast cell survival or growth.     

Stage-dependent sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation in zygotes of the brown alga Fucus serratus

Sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation (UV-A, lambda = 315-400 nm; plus UV-B, lambda = 280-315 nm) of zygotes of the brown alga Fucus serratus L. (Phaeophyta) has been assessed through effects on growth of developing germlings. Different stages of development were distinguished by considering 5 h periods of time after fertilisation. Both the stage of the zygote and the UV radiation condition significantly affected growth of developing germlings. The negative response of growth rate of early stages of the zygotes to UV radiation seemed to be caused by UV-B rather than UV-A radiation, as the lowest relative growth rates were always estimated for germlings developed from zygotes irradiated with UV-B radiation. As regards the stage of the zygote, those germlings that developed from zygotes irradiated at 5-10 h after fertilisation showed the strongest inhibition of growth compared with the other stages. These results point to polarisation as the most UV-sensitive process during the first 24 h of the development of the zygote. A non-linear relationship between the developmental stage of the zygote and the sensitivity to UV radiation is suggested.

Effects of Photochemical Transformations of Dissolved Organic Matter on Bacterial Metabolism and Diversity in Three Contrasting Coastal Sites in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea during Summer

The effects of phototransformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on bacterial growth, production, respiration, growth efficiency, and diversity were investigated during summer in two lagoons and one oligotrophic coastal water samples from the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea, differing widely in DOM and chromophoric DOM concentrations. Exposure of 0.2-μm filtered waters to full sun radiation for 1 d resulted in small changes in optical properties and concentrations of DOM, and no changes in nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate concentrations. After exposure to sunlight or dark (control) treatments, the water samples were inoculated with the original bacterial community. Phototransformation of DOM had contrasting effects on bacterial production and respiration, depending on the water’s origin, resulting in an increase of bacterial growth efficiency for the oligotrophic coastal water sample (120%) and a decrease for the lagoon waters (20 to 40%) relative to that observed in dark treatments. We also observed that bacterial growth on DOM irradiated by full sun resulted in changes in community structure of total and metabolically active bacterial cells for the three locations studied when compared to the bacteria growing on un-irradiated DOM, and that changes were mainly caused by phototransformation of DOM by UV radiation for the eutrophic lagoon and the oligotrophic coastal water and by photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) for the mesoeutrophic lagoon. These initial results indicate that phototransformation of DOM significantly alters both bacterial metabolism and community structure in surface water for a variety of coastal ecosystems in the Mediterranean Sea. Further studies will be necessary to elucidate a more detailed appreciation of potential temporal and spatial variations of the effects measured.     

Granulocyte‐Macrophage Colony‐Stimulating Factor (GM‐CSF) Controls the Proliferation and Differentiation of Mouse Epidermal Melanocytes from Pigmented Spots Induced by Ultraviolet Radiation B

Repeated exposure of ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) on the dorsal skin of hairless mice induces the development of pigmented spots long after its cessation. The proliferation and differentiation of epidermal melanocytes in UVB‐induced pigmented spots are greatly increased, and those effects are regulated by keratinocytes rather than by melanocytes. However, it remains to be resolved what factor(s) derived from keratinocytes are involved in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal melanocytes. In this study, primary melanoblasts (c. 80%) and melanocytes (c. 20%) derived from epidermal cell suspensions of mouse skin were cultured in a basic fibroblast growth factor‐free medium supplemented with granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF). GM‐CSF induced the proliferation and differentiation of melanocytes in those keratinocyte‐depleted cultures. Moreover, an antibody to GM‐CSF inhibited the proliferation of melanoblasts and melanocytes from epidermal cell suspensions derived from the pigmented spots of UV‐irradiated mice, but not from control mice. Further, the GM‐CSF antibody inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of melanocytes co‐cultured with keratinocytes derived from UV‐irradiated mice, but not from control mice. The quantity of GM‐CSF secreted from keratinocytes derived from the pigmented spots of UV‐irradiated mice was much greater than that secreted from keratinocytes derived from control mice. Moreover, immunohistochemistry revealed the expression of GM‐CSF in keratinocytes derived from the pigmented spots of skin in UV‐irradiated mice, but not from normal skin in control mice. These results suggest that GM‐CSF is one of the keratinocyte‐derived factors involved in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal melanocytes from UVB‐induced pigmented spots.

INFLUENCE OF NATURAL ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ON LOTIC PERIPHYTIC DIATOM COMMUNITY GROWTH,BIOMASS ACCRUAL,AND SPECIES COMPOSITION: SHORT-TERM VERSUS LONG-TERM EFFECTS1, 2

Growth rates, accumulation dynamics, and species succession of periphytic diatom communities were examined in the presence and absence of natural ultraviolet (UV) radiation using a series of outdoor, continuous-flow experimental flumes located on the South Thompson River, British Columbia. In a short-term experiment (2–3 wk), log-phase growth rates of naturally seeded diatom communities comprised of Tabellaria fenestrata (Lyngb.) Kütz., T. flocculosa (Roth) Kütz., Fragilaria crotonesis Kitton, and F. vaucheriae (Ehr.) Peter. exposed to 90% ambient photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) + UV were 30–40% lower than growth rates under 90% PAR alone. UV inhibition of growth rate was independent of the degree of P limitation within the range of relative specific growth rates (μ:μ_max-P) of 0.5–1.0. In a long-term trial, inhibition of attached diatom accumulation under 90% PAR + UV during the first 2–3 wk was corroborated. Reduction of full sunlight to 50% PAR + UV prevented the initial inhibition phase. The initial inihibitory effect of 90% PAR + UV on algal accumulation was reversed after 3–4 wk, and by 5 wk total diatom abundance (chlorophyll a, cell numbers and cell biovolumes) in communities exposed to PAR + UV were 2–4-old greater than in communities protected from UV. Under 90% PAR + UV and 50% PAR + UV, a succession to stalked diatom genera (Cymbella and Gomphoneis) occurred. Species succession under UV radiation doubled the mean cell size of the diatom communities. The shift from inhibition to a long-term increase in the autotrophic community under PAR + UV compared to PAR alone provides further evidence against the use of short-term incubation experiments to define the long-term implications of increases in UVB. These results suggest that the ecological effects of present-day levels of UVB and UVB:UVA ratios on autotrophic communities are not well understood and might be mediated through complex trophic level interactions.
