不同营养条件对东海原甲藻和中肋骨条藻竞争参数的影响

以东海原甲藻和中肋骨条藻为研究对象,采用室内单种培养和混合培养,设置不同的氮、磷营养条件,研究了不同营养条件对两种微藻的生长状况和种间竞争参数的影响.结果表明:随着氮、磷浓度的增加,两种藻的最大生物量均呈增加趋势,混合培养中两种微藻的比生长率低于单独培养.在混合培养中,生长前期中肋骨条藻是优势种,随着培养时间的延长,东海原甲藻成为优势种,且优势种发生变化的时间与营养条件有关.混合培养中,东海原甲藻拐点出现时间在0.5 ～4.9 d,中肋骨条藻为0～2.6d,东海原甲藻拐点出现时间晚于中肋骨条藻.在各营养条件下,东海原甲藻对中肋骨条藻的竞争抑制参数β均高于中肋骨条藻对东海原甲藻的竞争抑制参数α,当N为128μmol·L-1、P为32 μmol·L-1时,东海原甲藻的竞争能力是中肋骨条藻的3.8倍,两者差异最为明显.     

东海原甲藻与中肋骨条藻的种间竞争特征

对东海原甲藻和中肋骨条藻按照起始Chl-a比1∶5、1∶1和5∶1进行了f/2条件下的共培养实验,以探讨这两种藻的种间竞争特征。实验结果表明在共培养体系中,中肋骨条藻完全占优势,而东海原甲藻的生长受到明显的抑制。应用Lotka-Volterra种间竞争模型对共培养实验进行模拟的结果表明,东海原甲藻与中肋骨条藻的种间竞争结果与初始密度配比无关,中肋骨条藻总会竞争胜过东海原甲藻。为了探讨他感作用对东海原甲藻和中肋骨条藻种间竞争的影响,采用了中肋骨条藻的无藻细胞滤液来进行培养实验。实验结果显示,中肋骨条藻滤液对东海原甲藻及其本身的生长均无明显影响,这表明他感作用并非中肋骨条藻获得优势的主要竞争方式。     

东海原甲藻与中肋骨条藻的种间竞争数值模拟

研究探讨了两个零维箱式模型在东海典型赤潮藻东海原甲藻和中肋骨条藻竞争与演替研究中的应用。模型在采用不同接种密度下的单种培养实验数据进行参数校正后,被用来模拟不同N/P条件下单种培养实验以及两藻种共培养竞争实验,并以实验数据对其结果进行了验证。模拟结果表明,在单种培养条件下,模型能够较好地重现两种藻在不同N/P环境中的生长及对营养盐的利用;共培养实验的模拟结果显示,在所有初始细胞密度比例条件下,中肋骨条藻的最终密度均会超过东海原甲藻,且PO4的消耗主要源于中肋骨条藻的利用,与实验结果一致,表明模型能够很好地体现两种藻的竞争结果及对营养盐的竞争关系;由于模型不足以模拟除营养盐竞争以外的藻间相互作用,模拟结果未体现东海原甲藻细胞数迅速衰减这一现象,有待进一步研究。     

不同起始密度对3种赤潮微藻种间竞争的影响

通过共培养的方法,研究了不同起始密度对赤潮异弯藻和中肋骨条藻、塔玛亚历山大藻和赤潮异弯藻、塔玛亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻之间种间竞争的影响。结果表明1赤潮异弯藻对中肋骨条藻的生长有一定的抑制作用,随着初始接种时赤潮异弯藻细胞密度的提高,这种抑制作用愈加明显。2塔玛亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻与塔玛亚历山大藻和赤潮异弯藻之间的种间竞争结果相类似,即起始密度比例为A∶S(H)=1∶4时,中肋骨条藻和赤潮异弯藻分别在竞争中占优势;当起始密度比例为A∶S(H)=1∶1和A∶S(H)=4∶1,塔玛亚历山大藻在竞争中占优势。     

UV-B辐射增强对三种赤潮微藻DNA的伤害效应

运用生态毒理学和生物化学方法研究了UV-B辐射增强对赤潮异弯藻、亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻DNA的伤害作用.结果表明,3种赤潮微藻的生长状况对UV-B辐射增强的敏感性不同;对UV-B辐射增强的敏感性由高到低依次是赤潮异弯藻、亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻.随着UV-B辐射剂量的增加,3种赤潮微藻的DNA损伤程度提高,而且赤潮异弯藻DNA的损伤程度明显高于亚历山大藻和中肋骨条藻,亚历山大藻DNA的伤害程度又远远高于中肋骨条藻.UV-B辐射处理解除后,损伤DNA可明显恢复.赤潮异湾藻和亚历山大藻恢复培养6d,损伤DNA可明显恢复(P＜0.05);而中肋骨条藻恢复培养3d,损伤DNA可明显恢复(P＜0.05),说明3种赤潮微藻的DNA损伤水平不适合作为指示UV-B辐射增强的生物学指标.     

五种典型藻类对C，N，P吸收动力学分析及种间竞争模拟

目的:获得五种典型藻类(甲藻属微小亚历山大藻(Alexandrium minutum)和锥状斯氏藻(Scrippsiella trochoidea),赤潮硅藻中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum)以及绿藻属杜氏藻(Dunaliella salina)和青岛大扁藻(Platymonas helgolandica tsingtaoensis))对C,N,P营养的吸收动力学参数,并利用经典藻类种间竞争模型,构建一个藻类混合共存的生态平衡体系,揭示藻类种间竞争规律,为赤潮爆发机制和预测的研究提供一个新思路。方法:监测批次培养过程中藻体的生长规律以及培养基中C,N,P营养的消耗,计算出藻类营养吸收动力学参数,将参数代入Huisman-Weissing竞争模型,模拟藻类种间竞争。结果:(1)在单独培养条件下,杜氏藻具有最高的比生长率(0.834 d~(-1))和最大细胞浓度(3.4×10~6 cells/mL),锥状斯氏藻和微小亚历山大藻的比生长率μ和最大细胞浓度与其它三种藻相比均明显偏低,p0.01;(2)随着环境总碳浓度从5 mM提高到20 mM,五种藻的比生长率和最大细胞浓度均显著上升,其中杜氏藻和青岛大扁藻对C浓度改变的响应更加敏感;(3)杜氏藻和中肋骨条藻理论最大比生长率(μmax)明显高于其它三种藻类,锥状斯氏藻和微小亚历山大藻对C,N,P营养盐的需求量相比于其它三种藻明显偏高,p0.01;(4)藻类共生平衡系统中,N营养添加有利于杜氏藻和中肋骨条藻发挥更好的种间竞争优势,P营养添加有利于微小亚历山大藻和锥状斯氏藻发挥种间竞争优势;结论:不同环境条件下,五种藻类最大比生长速率μmax和营养吸收半饱和常数Ks直接影响它们的种间竞争能力,基于藻类动力学参数的种间竞争模型为赤潮爆发机制和预测的研究提供一个新思路。     

增殖细胞核抗原基因表达量与中肋骨条藻生长的关系

对中国近海常见的赤潮藻-中肋骨条藻（Skeletonema costatum）生长相关的分子标记进行了研究,通过RT-PCR和RACE技术获得了其PCNA基因的部分序列,首次克隆测序得到了714bp的中肋骨条藻细胞色素b（Cytochrome b,Cyt b）基因序列。根据得到的PCNA与Cyt b基因序列,分别建立了检测中肋骨条藻PCNA与Cyt b基因的实时荧光定量PCR的标准曲线,并通过对已知浓度样品的检测证明了所建立标准曲线的准确性。以上述建立的方法为基础,研究了中肋骨条藻生长率与增殖细胞核抗原基因表达量之间的关系。结果发现,平均单细胞中PCNA表达量在培养的不同阶段变化很大,且变化趋势与生长率表现出良好的一致性,说明PCNA表达量与细胞分裂密切相关,体现了其作为细胞增殖指标的潜能;而Cyt b基因表达稳定,表达量变化很小,说明Cyt b基因是一个潜在的良好的内参基因。基于此,提出以PCNA为目的基因、Cyt b为内参基因,将PCNA基因的相对表达量（REQ）作为中肋骨条藻生长率的一个指标,并建立了实验室条件下PCNA相对表达量与中肋骨条藻生长率之间的关系式。     

不同生理状态下膜状急纤虫大核DNA和线粒体DNA的多态性比较

为探索纤毛虫在营养及休眠条件下两套遗传系统的作用关系,对膜状急纤虫(Tachysomapellionella)营养细胞和休眠包囊大核DNA、线粒体DNA进行了RAPD比较。结果显示,在所选用的34条随机引物中,大核DNA共扩增出203条片段,其中以休眠包囊大核DNA为模板扩增出45条特有片段,以营养细胞大核DNA为模板扩增出36条特有片段,两者存在40%的差异。在所选用的32条随机引物中,线粒体DNA共扩增出216条片段,其中以休眠包囊线粒体DNA为模板扩增出35条特有片段,以营养细胞线粒体DNA为模板扩增出47条特有片段,两者有38%的差异。结果表明,膜状急纤虫休眠包囊与营养期的大核DNA结构存在显著的差异;两者的线粒体DNA结构也存在较大差异。这表明,膜状急纤虫在包囊形成过程中,大核及线粒体DNA结构可能都发生了一定的变化,并且这些变化可能与包囊形成过程中的形态结构和代谢活动等剧烈变化以及休眠状态下的生理生化变化密切相关。     

无藻萍的RAPD分析及其在三膘组满江红种间关系研究中的应用

从满江红Azolla Lam.萍-藻共生体中提取DNA进行的RAPD系统分析通常忽视了满江红样品的异质性。本研究通过获得无藻的满江红,比较有藻萍、无藻萍和离体藻之间的RAPD指纹图谱。发现从有藻萍中提取DNA的扩增反应来源于萍藻双方DNA的共同影响。依引物和植物样本的不同,共生双方对扩增产物的贡献结果不同,说明了用无藻萍进行RAPD检测的重要性。对满江红三膘组5个种的11个无藻萍样本进行了RAPD分析,由9个引物产生的127个DNA多态片段用于计算样本间的Jaccard相似系数和UPGMA树状聚类图。结果     

赤潮藻中肋骨条藻的光合作用对海水pH和N变化的响应

为探讨赤潮发生时中肋骨条藻 (Skeletonemacoatatum)的光合作用生理变化 ,研究了不同无机氮 (N)水平上 ,海水pH值升高对其胞外碳酸酐酶 (CA)和光合生理特性的影响。海水pH从 8.2升至 8.7时 ,中肋骨条藻胞外CA被诱导 ,细胞对无机碳的亲和力 (1/Km)提高 ;在pH8 7时 ,高N条件下的胞外CA活性是低N条件下的 3倍 ,1/Km 值也提高了 80 %。单位叶绿素a的最大净光合能力 (Pam)在不同pH和N水平上没有显著差异 ;但单位细胞的最大净光合能力 (Pcm)提高了 10 0 %。这些结果表明 ,赤潮发生时 ,中肋骨条藻通过启动无机碳浓缩机制 (CCM) ,提高细胞对无机碳利用效率 ,使其在低CO2 (高pH)环境下维持光合机构正常运行 ;充足的N源有利于提高CCM的效率 ,从而提高CO2 环境下的光合固碳能力。     

东海两种赤潮生物种间竞争的围隔实验

1998年5月和2002年5月在东海赤潮高发区进行了两次添加营养盐诱发赤潮的围隔实验,结果表明,1998年5月实验开始时,具齿原甲藻和中肋骨条藻分别占群落总量的85％和11％,对照围隔中,具齿原甲藻一直处于优势,高峰时所占比例接近99％．加磷围隔中,中肋骨条藻显示出很强的竞争能力,第五天的数量与具齿原甲藻相等．2002年5月用4个围隔装置进行实验,在不同营养状况下两个种的增殖速率不同,营养盐浓度高的围隔中,中肋骨条藻的增殖速率比具齿原甲藻快得多,在营养盐限制条件下,具齿原甲藻比中肋骨条藻存活的要好。表明在营养盐丰富情况下,中肋骨条藻以其快速的繁殖在竞争中取得优势地位,导致中肋骨条藻形成的赤潮持续时间较短,消亡也快,而具齿原甲藻赤潮形成期较长,但在营养盐很低的情况下,还能维持较长时问．     

Actinomycetal Community Structures in Seawater and Freshwater Examined by DGGE Analysis of 16S rRNA Gene Fragments

The actinomycetal community structures in marine and freshwater environments (the Pacific Ocean, East China Sea, Tokyo Bay, and Arakawa River) were investigated by a culture-independent molecular method to clarify spatial and seasonal distributions. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from environmental water samples, and a community analysis was carried out on polymerase chain reaction-amplified 16S ribosomal DNA. The amplified DNA fragments were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and nonmetric multidimensional scaling analysis, followed by sequencing analysis. The actinomycetal community structures were different at each station in the Pacific Ocean, the East China Sea, Tokyo Bay, and Arakawa River, and different populations predominated in each area. There were vertical variations in actinomycetal communities in the Pacific Ocean and East China Sea between the surface and 100-m depth, but communities were similar from 200- to 1,000-m depths. There were also distinct seasonal variations in communities in Tokyo Bay. Phylogenetic analysis of DNA fragments recovered from DGGE bands revealed that most of the predominant actinomycetal strains were uncultured and were quite different from well known culturable strains, such as the Streptomyces, Micromonospora, Microbispora, Salinispora, and Actinoplanes groups. These results suggest that the marine environment is an attractive target for discovering new actinomycetal populations producing bioactive compounds and that sampling depth and season are important considerations for isolating various populations effectively.

海湾景观生态脆弱性及其对人类活动的响应——以东海区为例

研究围填海影响下海湾景观生态脆弱性,有助于提高海湾生态环境保护意识、加速修复海湾生态系统。基于东海区海湾6期景观数据,分析了围填海影响下东海海湾景观生态脆弱性和人工干扰强度的时空变化特征,并讨论了海湾景观对人类活动的响应程度。结果表明:(1)东海海湾景观脆弱度上升,北部和南部海湾较高和高脆弱区面积呈上升趋势。高等级脆弱区不断扩散,主要由城市到郊区、内地到沿海、陆地到港口等。(2)东海海湾围填海开发利用强度加强。东海北部海湾景观人工干扰强度由低值向高值转变,中强度、较高强度区间和高强度区面积不断增加。南部海湾景观人工干扰强度南北分异显著,呈现出北低南高的特征。人工干扰强度从内陆向河口周边及沿海地区强度逐渐加深。(3)东海海湾景观变化对人类活动响应显著。东海北部海湾景观趋于破碎化、多样化、非均衡化。东海南部海湾逐渐向集约开发方向发展,景观趋于规则化、均衡化。东海海湾景观脆弱度与景观人工干扰强度间存在显著的正相关关系,南部海湾景观脆弱度与人工干扰度之间的拟合度大于北部海湾。     

我国东海赤潮原甲藻应属哪种？

阐述并讨论了中国东海长江口外经常发生的原甲藻赤潮原因种的种类认知问题．论述了自从Stein提出具齿原甲藻(Prorocendrum dentatum Stein)新种后迄今中外专家报告该种的描述及分布,并对比了具齿原甲藻与长江口的原甲藻的异同．研究证实我国东海的原甲藻与具齿原甲藻有较大的差别,主要表现在体积大小、藻体末端形态以及藻体前端突起的大小和形态等方面．本文汇集了国内外对具齿原甲藻与我国原甲藻的研究成果,对比认为。我国长江口外经常发生赤潮的原甲藻为东海原甲藻(Prorocendrum donghaiense Lu)．文中还讨论了由陆斗定发表的东海原甲藻需要补充修正的观点．在过去的数年中,我国东海长江口海域频繁爆发大面积的原甲藻赤潮,但对于赤潮原因种原甲藻(Prorocentrum)的定种问题存在两种不同的观点,一种观点认为本种是具齿原甲藻,另一种观点认为是东海原甲藻．为了阐明此种原甲藻的命名问题,于2002年11月在深圳召开了题为“我国东海赤潮原因种原甲藻分类学国际研讨会”．认为是P．dentatum的依据是长期以来国际上通常把类似我国东海的原甲藻定为P．dentatum,其根据是它的前端有突起等．而持不同观点的专家认为我国东海的这种原甲藻在细胞长度上与Stein描述的原P．dentatum差异很大,并且除少数样品末端尖伸外,大多数细胞末端是钝圆的．专家们还认为在日本、韩国等亚洲海域分布的被报告为P．dentatum的原甲藻与我国东海的此种原甲藻为同一种．综观各种观点,作者认为东海本种原甲藻应为东海原甲藻.     

Morphological aspect and chemical composition of Skeletonema costatum (Bacillariophyceae) growing in natural nutritive media with the aid of a culture system of dialysing fibers

The growth of Skeletonema costatum, under natural nutriment conditions, was studied using a bulk culture fiber dialyzing apparatus. The diatom displayed normal development of chain length (average cell number per chain) which coincided with the culture growth stages; that is, the cell number per colony increased during the active division period and decreased thereafter with the beginning of the prestationary phase. This morphological behaviour showed that the alga cells were not affected by such physical shocks as collision or tension occurring during repeated cell transfers from growth chambers to the dialyzing apparatus or at the time of their passage through the fiber fascicles. Measured at different growth stages, the cell contents in carbon, nitrogen, and chlorophyll confirmed the above results and showed for S. costatum a biological productivity comparable with that obtained in smaller dialyzing containers (dialyzing bags). Through a comparison between the dialyzing culture and a static culture grown in an enriched medium, certain characteristics were determined.     

On-board flow cytometric observation of picoplankton community structure in the East China Sea during the fall of different years

On-board flow cytometric determinations of picoplankton abundance (i.e. Synechococcus spp., Prochlorococcus spp., picoeukaryotes and also heterotrophic bacteria) were obtained in the East China Sea in fall of 2000 and 2003. The average abundances of Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus, picoeukaryotes and heterotrophic bacteria were 10(5), 10(5), 10(4) and 10(6) cells ml(-1), respectively. Synechococcus, picoeukaryotes and heterotrophic bacteria were abundant at all the stations and presented higher concentration in the inner shelf where influences from the Changjiang effluent plumes and the coastal upwelling were evident, while Prochlorococcus was absent from the near-shore stations and became the dominant picophytoplankton population in offshore waters, where its abundance was comparable to that for heterotrophic bacteria. All picoplankton groups showed a reduction in cell number with depth, and a positive correlation with water temperature were observed, which reflected the importance of light and temperature on picoplankton growth. A negative relationship with salinity was found for heterotrophic bacteria along two sections across the East China Sea Shelf, and distribution of picoplankton was dominated by different water masses. The fixation could lead to loss in Prochlorococcus cell numbers within one month, and all the picoplankton numbers decreased dramatically after three months.     

Genetic divergence in lizardfishes of the genusSaurida from southern Japan

Genetic divergence in four taxa of three species ofSaurida, S. undosquamis south (S) and north (N) types,S. wanieso andS. elongata caught from the East China Sea, Sea of Hyuga and Tosa Bay, was studied based on allelic frequencies at 23 genetic loci surveyed electrophoretically. Fixed allele substitution was observed at eight loci between the S and N types ofS. undosquamis and their genetic distance was 0.5582, within a range of differentiation at the species level. The S type ofS. undosquamis was found to inhabit the Sea of Hyuga and off Cape Ashizuri along the Kuroshio Current, in addition to the East China Sea. The low level of genetic variation found for this type was discussed in relation to its restricted habitat at the edge of the continental shelf. These factors, along with some morphological characters, indicate that the two types ofS. undosquamis should be recognized as distinct species.     

Phylogenetic diversity of Synechococcus strains isolated from the East China Sea and the East Sea

Phylogenetic relationships among 33 Synechococcus strains isolated from the East China Sea (ECS) and the East Sea (ES) were studied based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 16S–23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. Pigment patterns of the culture strains were also examined. Based on 16S rRNA gene and ITS sequence phylogenies, the Synechococcus isolates were clustered into 10 clades, among which eight were previously identified and two were novel. Half of the culture strains belonged to clade V or VI. All strains that clustered into novel clades exhibited both phycoerythrobilin and phycourobilin. Interestingly, the pigment compositions of isolates belonging to clades V and VI differed from those reported for other oceanic regions. None of the isolates in clade V showed phycourobilin, whereas strains in clade VI exhibited both phycourobilin and phycoerythrobilin, which is in contrast to previous studies. The presence of novel lineages and the different pigment patterns in the ECS and the ES suggests the possibility that some Synechococcus lineages are distributed only in geographically restricted areas and have evolved in these regions. Therefore, further elucidation of the physiological, ecological, and genetic characteristics of the diverse Synechococcus strains is required to understand their spatial and geographical distribution.
